Alternatively, it's now also detailed in the Battery field of the NTX HWConfig block (which used to just point to the battery capacity).
Code:
[14] Battery='PR-284983N-1500mA' |

The fact that it's a standard battery type that has replacements available is good, but it doesn't answer the question of whether you can a) open the Kobo and b) swap the batteries without totally destroying the device in the process.

That's why I followed the procedure to patch the original font to the reader. YMMV with the other two fonts. |

Oh yeah. (Assuming it is effective in reducing/removing excess plastic from the world,) I'd love all readers (all devices) to move that way. Honestly, I suspect it is greenwashing on Kobo's part, but I can hope to be wrong.

I came from the original H2O after breaking the screen. It seemed to do better on battery life. I do think the Clara is doing better than at first though. I am not really monitoring battery life anymore. |

Rapid depletion suggests improper battery calibration. Your reader thinks that it has 35% left based on when the battery was new, but now 35% is actually 10%. My Libra does not exhibit this problem. I've been trying to calibrate it by discharging below 10% and charging to 100% a few times. The meter seems more stable now than when I first got it, so I'll switch to using 20 - 90% charging thresholds.

This started after 30 months in service -- exactly the same on two Clara HDs. At first, the threshold was about 30%. Now it's more like 40%. Anyway, those are now secondary, as I have the new 2E.

I will keep a better eye on it and will post an update when I figure out how it is actually doing. I will admit I have simply been using it instead of worrying about it lately. I do love the Clara. I am happy to have a smaller reader again. Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. Phil |

On the other hand I can get an Onyx Boox for Android support (can play Interactive Fiction easily) and the A4 & X modes to change screen refresh rate. Lower battery life though. Hard to decide ![]() |

I got my new Clara 2E today (upgrading from a Glo HD) and I'm liking it a lot, but I'm wondering if it's possible to make audiobooks not show up in my book listing. I listen to those via my phone and will never want to listen to them via the eReader. I know I can filter by eBooks, but I don't want them to show up even in the Unread filter. This obviously wasn't a concern with the Glo HD given that device can't do audiobooks. I don't see an obvious way, but thought I'd check.

When you tap the three dots next to an e-book, you have the option to remove it from the device to save space. Could you remove all the audiobooks that way?

Nope, I didn't download them at all, they're still listed there as a downloadable option. The only option in the menu is to archive them, but I don't want to do that as I still want them visible on the phone app to play them there.
