The power button on Forma feels to press uneasy when using with a cover..

Yes.. That's probably why on newer kobo the company put a round button on behind of libra..

There is a very simple solution. Get a sleep cover. My power button only gets used when I want to reboot and that's very rarely.

Currently, nothing happens when long-pressing a link. It would be nice if long-pressing a link would open it in the preview, similar to what happens when you use the scrubber.

I already use sleep cover..
It's Ok when the device is on sleep
But when it's turned off sleep cover doesnt wake it. So need to turn on the device from the hard to click button...

Why is your Kobo turned off? Do you turn it off ofetn instead of leaving it sleeping? Or do you turn it off for times when you won't be reading for some time?

The problem is that if a page turn button was able to be used as you want, then the Kobo would never be truly off.

I can see the first one, but, there are far to many issues when calculating it. What if you put the device down without closing the cover?

I have no idea what the second one means.

How do they get around the problems for time remaining?

I doubt if they do. I'm not exactly sure of the calculation, but it appears the initially based on some standard words per minute and gets modified as you read. It will be using the time spent reading, and I know that includes the time timeout. It probably averages out the more you read, but, earlier in the book, it will have a bigger impact.

I take the time remaining as a "guestimate". For words per minute, I would want to see something more accurate. But, I don't really have any interest in seeing it. I like the current in-book stats, though I mainly look at the chapter graph. And I like the current overall stats. And Kobo's Reading Life email with the hours read and pages "flipped" for the month is good. Adding that on the device, or seeing the stats for the last few books in one glance might be good. But, I'm not sure what else is useful.

I have no idea what the second one means.
What time is reading means..

How much time i used for each session..
For example
session1 :10 pages 8 minutes
Session2: 30 pages 18 minutes etc
To see if i increase my reading speed.

What are your settings? I use sleep at 5 minutes and power off at never.
See attached image. I once forgot my Forma in a desk drawer at work and it still woke up when I got back to the office after the long weekend.

Dear DNSB

Thank you for your advice..

But i am not sure if disabling the turnoff option is safe for the device health in long terms..0

Hmmm... My Kobo Touch is still going strong. Seriously, the difference in life span between sleep and power off would only come into play if you left it in either state long enough for the battery to discharge past a safe level.
