For me, it's not ghosting. It's the text becoming gradually paler without a full refresh, which has always been happening with eink. For some reason, most people seem not to see this, but a few of us do.
This + the jagged/blurry edges of the letters after every page turn. I have to refresh on every page. I don't mind the ghosting as much.

Okay, almost ready. Here's a little teaser for what's coming very soon.

That's awesome!

A feature request:
Can we disable tapping and swiping for page turns? As I only use the page turn buttons for that on my Libra.

I don't have much ghosting on my Libra 2. I also don't have an issue with the letters getting blurry. And if they did get blurry, that would be after some page turns.

One thing that I know some like is a page refresh at the start of a chapter.

Indeed, I overlooked it. This was one of the rare cases I watched a video on my mobile phone instead on my desktop computer which has a large screen, but I was excited to see your video immiedately, lol.
Anyway, thanks.)

Another feature request then, but just for fun and not because it's important:

when we open a book with Kobalt, is it possible to show the opened book cover next to/instead of the logo on the splash screen?

Yes, that's actually planned, too. I already have a custom lock screen that shows the cover (it's opt-in, off by default) and I plan to extend that beyond the lockscreen so this will probably land in beta 5.

Do the Kobalt Highlights sync to Nickel? I was really flashed by all the options in the video that I might have missed that part.

You can expect the update in an hour or two, I suspect. Maybe sooner. I'll post here when it's live.

No, they do not. It's a separate thing, and it has to be for the feature to work as it is implemented. I am looking into a sync mechanism that allows you to import existing annotations into Kobalt, though.
