Hi.

I have a firmware feature request.

Nowadays I'm doing all my reading in my Claras, but I have had 2 2015 Kindle Paperwhites in the past. One is still running an ancient firmware version, but the other (which sadly died a year ago) ran a 5.12.whatever firmware.

I miss a feature such later firmware had, which was the ability to set reading settings "profiles". I remember I could set font, spacing margins, justification, etc. and store it in a profile. I could even give a custom name to it.

I don't remember if these "profiles" were global profiles or worked only on a per-book basis, but that was a nice way of testing new fonts and spacing without losing comfortable settings. Now I'm doing it by keeping one of my Claras as a reference I can always come back to, but it would be nice to have the profiles feature in them. Ideally it would include also advanced settings for sideloaded fonts, just as the patches allow.

Is it realistic to expect something like that in future firmwares or am I asking too much?

Best regards.
