It is a good summary of the classic situation and it saves me from doing it with my low level of English : one setting is used for reading during the day (we could called it "day mode") and another for evening at dusk or at bedtime (this is "night mode"). This is my case and that of many users I think.

In our list of "My Words" (under Menu/Activity/ in my Kobo Forma), I suggest including the entire sentence for each word, since context helps.

A definition (which "My Words" has) is helpful, but context adds to the value, seeing how the author used the word.

Done. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=329525.

Here's the configuration you'll want:

Can we ask Kobo to revert the change in 4.20.14622 that it no longer honors the read-only flags for custom dictionaries?

Cheers.

Edit: Missing the word "no", thanks @davidfor for the heads up.

You can report problems you see on their devices, or suggestions for changes, via the feedback link on their site.

And, there is at least one word missing in your post. When I first read it, I read it as you wanting them to fix the problem where it doesn't always respect the read-only flag on dictionary files. But, that doesn't scan very well and it almost reads as if you want them to ignore the read-only flag. Which is reverting to behaviour from a few firmware versions ago.

Done, but the CS just told me that "unofficial practices" are not supported...

Hopefully there will be a new workaround instead of having to patch the firmware everytime a new version is released......

Cheers.

True, and I wasn't thinking of that when I made that suggestion.

Any patches being used have to be reapplied each time, adding one isn't much work. Unless it is the only patch.

Probably off-topic... but can I install my translation dict (en-zh) by itself, without renaming it into an existing one (e.g. en-de) so that it won't get overwritten during sync?

Cheers.

My big asks for future Kobo firmware are:
-Searchable tags system, which I can add multiple tags for, including series, genre, themes, etc.
-Long-pressing an image to open it in an image viewer, allowing for panning and zooming, which would be great for maps and the like.
I know the second one is available for kepubs, but I use sideloaded epubs.

Only if I was using the ereader without a cover. Even so, what's the difference between pusing a page turn button and pushing the power button to wake or turn on?

On my Forma, the page turn buttons are easy to push and the power button is hard to push. Response to the power button seems erratic.
