In the new Kobo Touch...Do links work? Do embedded fonts work where the font-family is specified in the CSS body declaration?

I hope that also means (native) dictionaries in other languages. I'm not so interested in translation dictionaries but definitions. Hope that would mean the version in the US is the same or can be upgraded to any international features of the other one.

This isn't a major issue with me but finding out it only works on Kobo version of a ebook does bring it down a notch compare to the new Nook Touch. I am buying this mainly for my library books and even though I do shop alot at Kobo I liked it to work for both. I'm fine with Battery life as long as it lasts a week. |

Presuming it doesn't cost a ton more in Australia (very unlikely, despite good exchange rates. sigh.) ...will this have proper organisation features? collections, folders, something? I love my kobo but that's what drives me most nutty about it, the lack of good organisation. :/

SameerH, perhaps I missed it, but the most important question to me is: will the dictionary work with any ePub file. or only with DRM intact Kobo purchased epubs?
Serious mistake if it only works with DRM laden Kobo purchases! Donnageddon P.S. I purchase the majority of my ebooks currently from Kobo, but the DRM gets thrown in the rubbish pile (where it belongs) a few moments later. |

Thanks DaleDe, I misunderstood what "kepub" meant. I have since looked it up.
For what it is worth, all my Kobo ebook purchases (and other epub stores) work perfectly with the Sony 650 dictionary function. I am hoping the same will be true with the Kobo Touch Edition dictionary function. |

I think the only thing I saw was on the Kobo page that says.

I am currently on the fence I like the Kobo Touch but I decided to wait till some hands on reviews are posted. I have no way to test drive one but I plan to go the local B&N to try out the new Nook Touch before making my final decision. |

Blossom, you should be able to test drive a Kobo touch later this summer at Best Buy or Walmart in the US.

I notice the US edition of the Kobo Touch includes Black, Silver, Lilac and Blue ... but the Canadian edition, apparently does NOT include the Blue one. I really wanted the Blue one ...

I think I saw mention somewhere that Future Shop will carry the Blue one!
Yes... http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ.../10172316.aspx and http://twitter.com/#!/kobo/statuses/73055146225049601 Last edited by PeterT; 06-01-2011 at 06:43 PM. |
