That says it should be working. Where are you putting the JPEGs? The device won't process anything added to the .kobo directory. Are there any other books missing? |

What size are the JPEGs? How many pixels? What colour depth?

I tried last night after reading the posts. Certainly the Touch is capable of showing jpgs, but contrast is a big limitation on what can usefully be shown (presumably promoting the call for contrast control). Maps etc would need to be chosen with care, or adjusted in an editing program before it would work for me. Flow-charts etc would work well though.

Hi, I've just acquired an Aura HD (I'm coming from my good old PRS-650) and my Christmas wishes for features in a future firmware would be:
OTOH and a bit off-topic. Aura HD is quite faster and with an incredible better resolution than my old PRS-650, (and the pdf viewer is just in another league even without reflow). BUT I must say that the PRS-650 white is clearly whiter than the Aura HD one although both of them are using Pearl e-Ink technology. (Maybe the layer for the light is somehow darkening the screen?)

Which is the correct thread then? The Kobo one: Kobo future firmware feature request thread? I thought that, in a similar way to Calibre Driver plugins, the plain Kobo thread was for the OLD Kobos and the Kobo Touch thread was for the rest (the newest ones). Could any one guide me, please? |

I may be wrong (I've just done a quick search on "aura hd" and "aura hd requests in the forums), but there isn't a specific thread for Aura requests, so arspr made a good judgment call. It doesn't mean one couldn't be started, of course, as long as the firmware is sufficiently different from the other models (I don't know, because I haven't looked at the Aura yet). If not, it could perhaps be made clearer which thread deals with each model.

Of course if that's not the situation (very different features in each model), some moderator should start a new Firmware Request thread for each of them. |

There are now GUI differences between the Touch / Mini, and the Glo / Aura HD / Aura devices.
