Glo User Preference Poll

[kobokobe]

Out of pure curiosity, I want to take a poll on Kobo Glo user preference in the following areas.

There are 4 parts, Light, Page Refresh, Light Indicator, and Auto Off.

Please vote only one (1) answer per section, and please do not select any of the =headers=..

Edit: I spelled preference wrong..is it possible to edit the title?

Sorry, too late, I've selected the headers. Too bad!

Haha, and you are not alone. Most, if not all, of them on purpose I would wager.

Well, 7 of 29 people selected the headers lol. Regardless, the results are pretty interesting, and some are rather surprising. I would've never guessed that so many people use 6-page full refresh, or such short auto-off times. What I was probably most interested in when I made this poll was how often the light is used, the result is more or less what I expected, except I would'nt've thought so many people would have it on at all times.

Anyhow, thanks everyone for your participation!

Interesting results, but I wonder on this one how many were like me and clicked that one thinking in relation to sleep, but rarely turn the device actually off.

I wondered the same thing, despite typing "OFF" in caps. I assume at least a few people made that mistake.

Even for auto-sleep, I find this somewhat surprising, I personally use 30-minute auto-sleep.

I have to admit, when I first read it, I read it as sleep. And 15 minutes is the default sleep value, so a lot of people will have left it at that.

Very true, I hadn't considered that.

At first with my Touch I set auto-sleep at 5 mn and OFF at 10 mn, but it was really short, so for my Glo, I set it at 10 mn for auto-sleep and OFF at 15 mn. That way is really good for me and though I read with light on when it's to dim to read without I'm about 50% battery life left (wifi off) I charged it fully when I got it just a month ago today and then only connected it a few times to my computer to load books from Calibre. I've read 8 books (about 300 pages each) and began an other. I'm very pleased with it

That's a pretty impressive longevity. I tend to just leave it connected to my laptop for a while after I sideload books, so I wasn't sure how long the battery life actually was.

Hmm, I am surprised at how many people prefer the bottom bar to be clear instead of dark.

Especially when (on another poll) a lot of people find the lowest light level to be too bright. I would have thought that if one finds the light level too bright the bottom bar configured to be dark will help (even if only a little).

This poll is a bit confusing somehow.

It would've been nice if I could do a true multi-question poll. But I figured it'd be fine when the sections are separated by the headers (which were supposed to have 0 votes, and hence no bar), but people seem unable to resist the temptation to select the headers.
