What I meant was slight difference to the general public. Remember, many got used to odd word spacing in the days of earlier Kindles, which forced justification and had no hyphenation.

At any rate, I don't think Kobo will give us an updated RMSDK any time soon, if ever. I don't know what the issues are that prevent them, but I think if they'd been interested it would have happened already. I wish they would, but I think it's a lost cause.

Honestly, Kobo probably should be working on other stuff, like text-to-speech in their app, to create better accessibility to low vision or blind users, if only to compete with Kindle and Pocketbook. (Nook, needless to say, is so far behind the curve they'll likely never catch up.)
