Unfortunately no-one but Kobo knows what features will be in a new release.

Hi my friends, here in France the spring is here !!!!!!!!!

I've already searched a way to disable the slider to adjust the screen's brightness (and asked the question on this forum) but there no solution ...

So do you know if the next firmware (over 3.13.1) will give us this option (because I think that any non basic function MUST have an on/off toggle in the settings to enable or disable it) ?
What you can do to change the brightness of the screen is to turn on the front light.

I think what he was looking for was a way to disable sliding your finger on the left edge of the screen to change the brightness. One lefthanded friend of mine has the same complaint that when he swipes to change pages using his left hand, he occasionally move his thumb up/down and changes the brightness.

I've never accidentally turned on the light. It's just too easy to swipe to the the left using my left thumb.

Nobody's saying that's happened.

This is a simple thing, and I don't see why you feel compelled to complicate it. The current firmware has a "slide to adjust brightness" feature. akorx is looking for a way to disable that. "Turn on the front light" does not address that in any way; it is a useless response.

Excuse me if my settings are not totally right (Spanish interface). When you are reading a book, there is a "Reading settings" in the option bottom right. You can turn off the "slide to adjust brightness" there (3.11 at least)

I tap left to go to the next page and I have accidentally turned the light off more than once (it's normally on 6), so I can understand why someone would want to disable this.

Bottom right: Three lines => { Annotations | Search | Dictionary | Reading settings} Perhaps it has been removed in newer FW.

I think the confusion may be device-related. In fw 3.12.1, the Aura6" has a Reading Settings checkbox 'Two-finger swipe to adjust brightness'.

The Aura H2O and AuraHD don't have this option because they don't have the 2-finger option, they have the left-edge option instead.

Firmware 3.13.1 (on the H2O) does not have an option to turn off the swipe to adjust the light.

3.13.1 on a H2O does not have that item in reading settings.

I have a H2O, so that explains the difference
