At least that's how it works for me. (There's another tweak to alter the timeout on the clock/percentage thing up top, as well.) |

Okay, I see what you're saying now. One more question (sorry this is probably way off topic), is there any way to go to a specific page number in a Kobo?

You can slide the slider to wherever. I've never looked to see if there's a spot to type in a precise number, I just slide over until I'm close and then swipe a page or two to zero in.

Okay, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure. That's one thing I would like to see added at some point. I like that feature a lot in my Sonys, Nooks and EZReader as that's how I sync these various readers. Maybe Kobo will add it at some point.

That is the hidden secret behind the odd form factor of the Kindle Oasis. Hold it is your right hand when you start a book and switch to your left hand once you reach the halfway point for a proper book feel.

The Glowlight 3 does show 'page 90 of 145' at the bottom and I do like that. The slider that comes up shows how many pages are left in the chapter. |

They shouldn't be dead. They are battery charge last weeks lonliger than tablets with same size screen. You can buy a great Kobi. I can't find batteries for working Sony T anT!.

Most in this thread are missing the embedded video point. Video will become increasingly important as book reading habits evolve. Are you reading about Bonobos on the Congo River? A few well-placed video clips would be attractive to me. Embedded video is too big to download and store on a dedicated device. They will need to work more like browsers where video is streamed and not stored.
Dedicated devices as they are do their best to mimic the paper technology experience--which shackles the technology as a whole. Ebooks are more powerful than paper. If and only if they act like browsers. |

I think they are flat sales wise, they won’t blow up again until color is introduced.

That said, I can easily get 10+ hours of reading on a 7.9" iPad mini 4 which honestly doesn't seem to be much lower than what I get with the Paperwhite 3. Frankly, I think the half an hour for 6 weeks quoted for the Paperwhite is a bit too optimistic. |
