Out of many readers, I have yet to wear out a power button.
The switch on my Glo has worn down enough to make it hard to use. This is is a sliding switch and the grip on it was never very good. Now I have to used a fingernail under the edge to move it.

But, I do agree with you. If someone is comfortable without a cover on their ereader, they should use it that way. As well as putting their ereader in a pocket, not worrying about ligatures, starting Discworld from one of the sub-series, not upgrading to Windows 10, using per-screen page numbering, like USB C, putting space between paragraphs and no indents or not minimising the CSS in a stylesheet.

Have I forgotten anything?

Probably best to start a new thread on this subject.

In no particular order, and not certain any of these would be "Kindle Killers" per se, but they'd make the Kobo devices more perfect for my use case -

1. Page #s in TOC.
2. Haptic or page turn buttons for the Aura One LE.
3. Bring back the external SD card feature.

Global search (the ability to search across your whole library, like you can on Kindles).
Not sure I understand this one. I can do global searches across my whole library on any Kobo device I'm using.

Yes, for a title, author or series. But you cannot search for a word or a phrase in all your books at once. You can search the contents only in the book you have currently open.

For me the real Kindle Killer features are Calibre integration and the ability to patch. Without those I wouldn't have got a Kobo at all, but stuck solely to Kindles.
This!!! I couldn't agree more!

OK, I see what you're asking for, something like a full indexing as is done on the Kindles when uploading new content to the device.

Not sure if it'd be a killer feature for a lot of people, but making PDF readable instead of whatever passes for PDF these days would have prevented me from buying an Inkpad X in the first place.

(I can't even remember if Kobo has reflow, but last time I checked, reflow per se wasn't that good to begin with, so...)

I'd go for KePub fixed so it didn't need to have a special format and fixed so all the bugs are removed.

As a designer, I'd love to see Kobo be an industry leader in typographic rendering. It could be a Kindle Killer if they were on par with Apple Books and other better ebook renderers.
