I seem to be missing something in the software

I normally use an LG V20 running android 8 which has a 5.7 inch screen and 515 ppi running Moonreader pro+ and calibre to get the books on. Just for fun I thought I'd take a look at the Kobo HD Clara.

First comment I prefer white lettering on black, is this possible?

Second can I set the margins to the limit of the display? It seems crazy to pay for the screen only to find I can't use part of it.

Third I'm used to holding my books in Calibre then just loading a few up onto the reader. The Clara seems to just load in some of my books from Kobo at random. How do I say I've read this recently?

Fourth can I list the books by title, author, without the cover rather than looking at the book cover in black and white?

Fifth this really is just a comment, I was surprised to find a usb micro? port rather than a usb c port.

Calibre connects just fine and at least shows me what books are on the device. I'm sure the device lists them somewhere, my books downloaded or imported. It does seem to handle normal epub books on an import through Calibre

Home seems to list covers scattered over the page but my books at least let's you sort them into order.

Are my expectations too high for this device?

Thoughts

Thanks John
