Stop the FLASH to BLACK
TRADE slight degradation of type definition for elimination of flash to BLACK and increase battery life ...
The latest firmware updates have reduced ghosting
(this has -slightly- slowed page turn times)
so... as the ghosting is greatly reduced ...
you might want to consider completely STOPPING the screen flashing to BLACK every 1-6 page turns due to the old refresh scheme,
and
- get faster page turns that are
- easier on eyes &
- increase in battery life too
* kobo mainly uses battery to draw new pages *
it takes more power to refresh a page to black and then display the new page than to just "overwrite" old page with new page]
You do this easy-hack by re-setting the refresh variable to 90
as follows:
[Connect kobo to your computer with hidden files displayed]
Navigate to the file:
Kobo eReader.conf (there's a space in the name)
found at
KOBOeReader/.kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf
* BACKUP the file 1st *
Copy file:
Kobo eReader.conf and rename it to
Kobo eReader.conf.orig
Then make the change in
Kobo eReader.conf
[at ~ 40 lines from the end of the file]
in the [Reading] section ...
change the value of variable
numPartialUpdatePageTurns
from (1-6) to 90
to give result as follows:
numPartialUpdatePageTurns=90
Save file and Exit
Now while reading, enjoy flash free reading and if you notice ghosting (after very MANY page turns) to clean up the type
MANUALLY REFRESH PAGE by ...
1) touch page bottom then
2) touch page middle
Quick and Easy!
