Kobo future firmware feature request thread

[jgray]

I didn't read all 141 pages, so I don't know if this has been asked already.

I would love to see the option to do a reverse sort on Name, Author, Size, etc. With thousands of books, it is a pain to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list, if what I want is closer to the end.

The logical way to implement this is to reverse the sort when you select the same sort option a second time. This wouldn't require changing the GUI. In fact, that was the first thing I tried a few years ago, when I bought my Clara HD.

I note that koreader has the option to reverse sort, but I didn't like koreader, so I uninstalled it.

If you go up from the first page with a button, you'll be at the end of the list. This also works for tapping on the arrows on the screen, even though it is greyed out.

You can also tap on the scroll bar directly to jump (including to the beginning or end of the list).

...

In case you weren't aware, on some screens, if you swipe left to right, it will go to the last page.

Thanks to both of you. I will try those tricks. I should get my replacement 2E tomorrow. The first one had dead pixels.

[jgray]

Both of those tricks worked. Thanks.

I should have known that the arrows would wrap around, but didn't think of it, since they are greyed out.

Support for font properties in compliance with CSS3, like:

font-feature-settings
font-kerning
font-variant-ligatures
font-variant-position
font-variant-caps
font-variant-numeric
etc.

Obviously, for both book formats: kepub and epub.

To be able to organise a collection of books into a folder system, within the Books tab would be great. Yes, I know they have a Collections tab that attempts to do something similar but it's just not the same. Maybe even if they just allowed the non-organised books to sit under the collections, within the collections tab, that would also be ok.

[Aleron Ives]

I'd like the option to sort collections by filename.

Nevermind, misread post

What you are asking for is for Kobo to update RMSDK to the latest version. I too would really like this. But I doubt it will happen.

At the very least they could add support in kepub. The engines do not IMO need to have complete feature parity.

Predictive text on the virtual keyboard. Will make note taking on non fiction much easier. I realise this is a minority use case but would make a big difference to me.

Couple of quirks. Apologies if they've been mentioned before.

1) When you search for a word in the dictionary, and it comes back with
"Your search for 'xyz' did not match any words in the dictionary. The closest match was 'xyz'"
Followed by the definition for the exact word you're searching for.
Anyone else see this? Happens to me a lot.

2) When sorting books by 'Series', Kobo reverts to sorting by 'Title' when there is no associated 'Series'. Which is fine.
But then it interleaves these books with those in a 'Series', instead of putting them all together, either at the beginning or at the end of the list.
Not the end of the world, but I find this a bit strange.
