The one thing I really, really want is predictive text on the virtual keyboard. I make a fair number of notes on non-fiction and this would really speed things up. It's the one thing I miss most from Kindles.

I would like to have the option of saving some [light's tone+light's power] settings, and giving different names to them:
BED - 30% of light, mild red tone. WORK - 0% of light LIVING ROOM - 22% light, mild blue tone Imagine have the options pre-saved by you tather than tuning the device by hand every single time... |

The don't charge until it hits 40% is also something that could be done in the charging circuit. All my older laptops did something like this as if you plugged in when the battery was 95% or higher, they did not charge the battery. I doubt that implementing either of those would be that hard. The issue would be whether the battery charging was purely hardware, or there was some software involved. But, I've expressed my opinion of this method of extending the battery life a few times, so I have no desire to see it implemented. |

The methods laptops used was in the BIOS and controlled by apps or the BIOS. As I understood it, it changed the charging parameters that were being used rather than run something extra. Of course, I also think the whole thing is pointless. Again, you are basically saying, "I want my battery to last longer so I won't actually use it but I will plug it in twice as often." |

I agree that battery usage in the Kobos is way lighter than in phones, though. |

When the battery is already at or above 95% it is difficult to determine exactly how close to 100% the batteries is, so to avoid overcharching, it won't restart charging until it goes below 95%. It's almost certain the kobo already does that. It prevents explosions. ![]() |

I'm sure it cannot be done without patching/hacking.
