Hi!

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I've been unable to find a comprehensive source about the support of landscape mode in Kobo Clara HD for epubs (i.e. not PDF).

From what I've read the device by default does not allow landscape mode, so you have to enable it adding

Code:

[DeveloperSettings]
ForceAllowLandscape=true

to the file .kobo\Kobo\Kobo ereader.conf

Since I've read some conflicting info, this allows landscape mode in the UI/while reading/both?

Also, I've read some reports that enabling and using this option created problems with the accuracy of the touchscreen or made the Kobo software unstable. In this (stilll) the case?

Finally, from what I've read koreader should have "native" support for landscape mode. Is this usable in the Kobo Clara HD? How does it compare with the stock Kobo software?

Thank you very much!
