not that I don't want an image on the collections, and there isn't one at present on the main page, but that isn't my quest. I would simply like them going across screen rather than list form, the main collection screen.
In that case I'll be clearer: What you want is not possible in the current firmware. Kobo does not display the collections list in that way. If you want something like this changed, make a request to Kobo describing what you want.

My addendum was that unless an image was being displayed for the collection, I couldn't see the point in arranging them like you seem to want them. Personally, I don't see the point.

I do understand that. it's just something I'd like. not worth talking to kobo about.

And that's an attitude I find very strange. It is important to you to bring it up in a place that can do absolutely nothing about. But, it isn't important enough that you won't actually ask the people who can do something. This isn't just you. It's a general problem I see here with respect to changes and, especially bugs. People will rant and rave about how crappy they think the software is, but, they are completely unwilling to report it to the people whose job it is to actually fix problems.

I think that's a bit much as a reply to a new Kobo user who seems to love the software and described her desire as a wish.

FWIW, I read ZodWallop's, and than reread your post, and I don't think ZodWaalop mis-represented your post.

YMMV.

Really? Yes, you sent me a PM, which I read and thought I understood. There was nothing in that statement that suggested you were upset or insulted. It just seemed to be explaining your reasons. And the fact that you thanked me for something in the PM means that I am now completely baffled.

Oh, and I didn't reply to the PM as I was not able to at the time I first saw it. And, honestly, I'd forgotten about it until I saw @ZodWallop's post.

"Persist in it" is a bit much. I made one response to @ZodWallop as I considered I was being wrongly criticised by being quoted me out of context.

And for the record, I stand by the basic sentiment. There are far to many people here who complain about the software on the devices without reporting these issues to Kobo.

one final thought, if I may. I absolutely love my Clara. I have ordered a second one for the bedroom. it is the best ereader I have ever used and so customizable, via patches (jailbreaking) and just the normal interface, that I am blown away. I'm finished with the kindle experience.

I spent a bit of time yesterday upgrading the firmware and installing patches and it is now the perfect reading device for me. if you haven't ordered one yet, Amazon has them back on sale but not due in for a while. I think it's the end of Dec. +/-.

eta: you can also upgrade the internal SD, and change the battery out when the time comes, iirc.

@pghaworth

Thanks much - I grabbed one to try that comes next week.

Your screen fairly "green"? Maybe it's just variance between units?
The YT reviews I've seen sort of made me notice the screen being a bit greenish maybe?

no green on mine. if anything, a bit to the blue side but it has the warmth adjuster too so you can pretty much adjust it the way you like it. YT reviews?

I thought I remembered that you ordered it but wanted to throw it out there just in case someone else was interested too.
