Software however is another thing; the Kobo has an author screen, showing 10 authors, selecting an author brings me to the books from this author. It follows the sort I enter in Calibre.
Very easy to browse on my large collection of 700 books build in the past decades and maintained on Calibre.
The Paperwhite only has a bookscreen showing 6 books. To add insult to injury these books are sorted on first name last name, the first writer showing up now is A. E. Rayne.
This is completely unusable, giving 115 screens only accesable if you happen to know the first names/ initials too.
I can’t be the only one who finds this a problem, van I?
Are there solutions? I tried giving each author a serie with the first letter of the family names of the author, but that didn’t work.
My questions are:
1) is it possible to show authors only?
2) is it possible to sort authors on their last name?
3) is it possible to show more then 6 units, collections, authors, books at the same time on the screen?
I did search the forums and the Net but couldn’t find anything.

Coming to think of that, I have to take that back. On the Kindle there are two sliders, brightness and warmth, but in fact these settings are there on the Kobo too, in a different form. I’ll edit my first post, thanks.
