Touch Kobo Touch Reading Life Awards (possible spoilers)

To sum up: Kobo is most likely correct in giving a damn about the quality of their software.

Well, in the end, you exchange bugs by features, you make a balance and you decide. Amazon software is very stable... as my old Renault 4 without air conditioning, with manual change and so on... perhaps my current car has more faults, but it gives me more comfort. Each one his/her own.

I agree. Kobo do give a damn about the quality of their software. I have seen enough evidence in their product and behaviour to know that they care about what they put out.

Or did you make a mistake in you statement and managed to reverse the meaning of what would have been an inflammatory, derogatory and essentially pointless statement?

Ok, maybe for the sake of clarification: which new features has Kobo added to the firmware since say 3.12 that were not strictly device-specific requirements?

Order by series and authors screen in the library. Subtitle in the own line in the library view. Link to add to collection from the details screen inside the book.

Well, and overdrive integration for Kobo Aura One, of course.

Thanks, that explains why they had to pull so many resources from bugfixing. These are all really complex tasks to implement.

I get the irony, yes, 😁, but more than you can say about other companies

You have to include support for new CPUs on some devices (which led to a quiet Mark 2 release).
