Essential:
Lock Zoom and Offset option for pdf files. I manage to adjust the zoom and a offset, so that not much space on the margins are wasted, but then I can not switch to the next page just with the normal swipe. I have to press extra on the margin on the arrow to go to the next page, and the when I'm on the next page, then I have to chage again the Offset, since just the Zoom the reader is memorizing. Since I'm a c++ developer too, I know this is simple to do, and at the same time it would be a great improvement for reading pdf-files, since most pdf-files have big margins, which are fine on paper, but not on a small device. |

Fix the backlight timeout. Many times it goes off after 15 seconds or so

I think mostly it happens after I switched the light on after it went off, before it goes to standby. I have 2 min light off and 5 min standby.

Does it happen right after you open the sleepcover? If so, this is a bug that some people call a feature. You have to touch the screen after you turn the light on again. If it happens after you wake the device with the slider, update the firmware. Also, if you increase your light off and standby times, say to 30 or 45 minutes, it will happen after a great enough length of time that you may not encounter it as frequently.

My request is for it to be possible to use an ext3 (or ext4) formatted microSD card, mainly to get around the file limitations in the images directory.

This looks interesting, is there an easy way to access these files (glo, without removing internal microSD card)?

Word of caution: Preserve lower and upper case of file and path names (e.g. udev, not uDev). If you mess things up, you might have to factory reset the reader. If you have a lot of annotations and highlights, you might consider making a back up of .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite. |

Thanks, this looks like something I could try on my day off. I have looked at the two files usr/local/Kobo/udev/usb and usr/local/Kobo/udev/sd, both have the commented out section that PeterT refers to. I assume that one refers to the internal microSD cards FAT32 partition, and the other to the external microSD card, do you know which is which?

Actually I believe that the sd is used only for the mounting of the external sd card; note that it mounts the card on /mnt/sd. usb is used for when the device is attached to your PC.
/mnt/onboard appears to be used for the partition that is accessible to us normally, and /mnt/sd to the external SD card. I think that this section Quote:
