Invitation for beta testers
Hello! In our next release we are planning on adding support for:

- changing line margins
- changing line spacing
- turning off Kobo styling
- forcing left alignment
- more bundled fonts
- sideloading fonts

What I am looking for is a list of people on this forum who would be willing to help us test the beta builds for this release. If you're able to help then you can send me a PM with your Google Account information and I'll add you to our list.

Feel free to add comments or questions about this program in the thread.

Thanks for your help!

Wow. This sounds great! I'd love to help, but I'm holding off on upgrading to the Touch until these features are ironed out. However, now I'm thinking about going out to pick one up just take part in the testing...

Just sent mine as well. Since I've already added a couple of my own fonts, I guess I've already unofficially started beta testing

Is this for the Touch? Why do I need to supply you with a Gmail address?

I'd really like to see a fix for the occasional having to tap twice to change a page.

Can we preserve all of our data by backing up the Kobo contents? Just in case...

I'm hoping they'll give me a chance this time to beta test - I signed up on that list about a year ago

That link (http://blog.kobobooks.com/beta/) isn't working properly.

When I entered my data and selected "Blackberry Touch Screen", "Windows" and "Kobo Reader", I ended at a "disappeared" page. The subscription engine is called "MailChimp" and clearly something's gone bananas or someone has been monkeying around ....
