Kobo Beta features, what is that

marp68 · 09-13-2016, 04:13 AM

In Settings have this Beta features option. In this I can "take the highway to...". I choose start and just end up on the my homepage Google in the web browser.

Which are the beta features?

The web browser is the beta feature.

On older devices there were also some games, but they're not available on the newer devices

I actually enjoyed the sudoku, only used it at the beach but I miss it.

I like BlockIt, personally. I may have to keep a copy of the current firmware around just so I can play it occasionally...

Of course, we have no timeline for the latest firmware hitting the H2O yet, so I have time.

I don't expect the games to be removed from the Aura H2O or other devices. They were never on the Glo HD. There have been several firmware releases since the Glo HD was released and the games have not been removed from the older devices. I don't expect that to change.

Well, Chess has been removed from older firmware, so I can see why it's not unreasonable to think Kobo might remove other games as well at some point...
