Jon; I know that but a user should be smart enough to know that if they had patched and their device upgrades it will need to be repatchef. While I do provide some hand holding I feel people have some responsibility for managing the device themselves

I have posted some reminders to reinstall any custom dictionaries because I've forgotten to do so until I noticed the hyphenation not properly working.

But yes, people should know what they need to do after a new firmware update.

If they are new to Kobo then they might not know. I remember when I didn't. It took asking here​ to realize that this was going to be a high maintenance device.

Sleep and Power options is now called Energy saving and privacy. But what privacy options are there? None, for my Kobo at least. Am I missing something?

If you change your affiliate to Rakuten (or something like that) there is a option to have a PIN number to unlock the screen.

Ah, I understand, thanks. Saw the texts for PINs in the translation file, but didn't know where it was located.

Privacy: Disable display of covers... add a pin. people won't that you're reading 50 Shades if they happen across your Kobo when you're not using it.

The main reason not to let anyone else know that you are reading 50 Shades of Grey is so others don't know how bad your taste in books is.

Agreed haha
Although I would love to have a pin or something. When I carry my H2O in cargo pants' pocket, the thing wakes up routinely, then pages get flipped and sometimes it takes forever to find the place where I stopped reading. A pin would probably solve the problem

Why are you wearing clown pants? The H2O is too big for a pants pocket (unless the pants are clown pants). Also, you risk the H2O getting broken and someday it will become broken.

As davidfor suggested, you can change your affiliate to Rakuten to have a PIN lock.

Just a reminder its rakutenbooks - though Rakuten works for the pin lock it also throws up errors in sync. And I think you need to add a line in the config file as well but I've lost my reference!

ETA: Scrap that last sentence, it turns up just with changing the affiliate!

Because they are comfortable and they have pockets big enough for stuff like H2O
