I just got my Kobo Libra H20 last week, but have been using it every day. My biggest *drives-me-nucking-futs* complaint would be with bringing up the Reading Menu and turning pages. Inadvertently touch the screen and the menu comes up. How'd that happen? Try to bring it up, and it doesn't. Touch the screen and the page turns. Which way - forward or back? I spend damned near as much time just getting back to my place as I do reading. I've been through the settings, tried them all, doesn't get any better.
  • Let me locate the tap area to bring up the Reading Menu to a small area in the center of the screen, so that any accidental touches from holding the reader around its bezels won't bring it up.
  • Allow the fine tuning of what constitutes a 'swipe'. Ideally, the ability to adjust the length of the required gesture.
  • On a reader with buttons, give an option to disable tapping and swiping for page turning altogether and use only the buttons.
You can already do some of these. They are on the Reading settings which is accessible from the menu bar when reading.

Also:
  • When in 'My Books', the physical buttons allow you to navigate and wrap around pages - last page to first and vice versa - but the on-screen arrows do not. Please put both forward and backward arrows on these end pages.
I believe that is a deliberate choice by Kobo as the arrows there would be a bit confusing. As you have discovered, the buttons will do wrap-around, or you can swipe in the appropriate direction to do it.

And, as you are a new user here, please be aware that MobileRead is not an official support channel, and that this thread is in no way an official request list. You should assume that no-one at Kobo reads anything here. If you want Kobo to make a change, you need to report your suggestions to them directly.
