Those are great ideas. Accessibility is a good niche to pursue because it isn’t being met by other eReaders, and doing it via Bluetooth is a great way to implement such support.

Your last suggestion is a pipe dream, though. Haha Don’t mention wanting a USB-C jack on your Kobo. It’ll start a new USB interface flame war here. 😅 (Secretly, I completely agree with you. I dislike miniUSB)

But what about wireless charging? Is there an ereader that already features it? Most modern phones now support it. Why not a Kobo?
