Aura Changing the library display?

drawson1 · 03-19-2014, 04:03 PM

Is there any way to change the library display so that I get more than 5 titles on the screen at once? Or to shrink the font? The same question applies to a collection; once I'm in the collection, I'd like to shrink the font or have some type of compact display for the list of books. My old PocketBook exposed the filesystem (and the author directories), so it was easy to browse.

You can switch to cover view, I don't know how many show on the Aura but my Aura HD shows 12 items at once that way.

Thanks . . . I was hoping for 20 lines of text :-)

Fortunately, Hope Springs Eternally.

Unfortunately, Kobo springs for frequent firmware updates of dubious actual worth often accompanied by breakage of previously fixed issues and largely needless graphical interface changes. But, they did give us Pocket, so who knows?

(Attention Kobo Developers, Please extinguish your torches and place the pitch forks and farming implements in the barrel by the door as you leave the castle, This Was Only A Test. Now that it has been verified you are paying attention no further leg pulling will be required.)

You might consult the Developer's Corner and try KOReader or CoolReader , etc. I think they both allow for folder views.

Thanks - I actually found both of these last night . . . playing to see which one I like best, but they are both a huge improvement over scrolling through hundreds of pages at 5 books per page!

A bit out of topic, but can't you use the search function?
Assuming you already know which book you're looking for.
You can even search by author, series, etc.
