Hide a document ?

Raphael · 01-05-2014, 01:22 PM

Hello !
I'm using the last version of a Kobo Glo, and I was wondering if there were an option to hide a book and reveal it only with a password or something like that.

I'm reading some books I'm not ashamed to read, but that I don't want everybody to find out (like the Kamasutra...) and I often lend my reader to my friends and family.

Is it possible ?
If not, do you think the developers could be interested by such an idea ? Is there a webpage to contact them ?

I wish you a nice evening.

Raph.

Buy another reader for your friends and family use.

You can side load books onto external SD card for your private use and have another external SD card for everything else.

I think we've all quickly opened a different book before handing our readers to someone to try

filmo's idea is good, but when you swap cards, it will lose the reading positions of the books on the previous card. Probably better is to load books for general consumption in the main memory and the other books onto the SD card. Ejecting the card will still keep the info about the books but not display them in any lists. When the card is put back in, the books will appear.
