I usually just brush off specks of dirt with my hand. I normally use the Libra at home, in the office or in a car so not particularly dusty.

That must be why in all the product photos, they always show their readers in cases.
Have you ever looked at the Bookeen Saga? Now there's a reader designed for you! The case is literally built in to the reader. I joke. But if I could find one for $50, I'd buy one. Last edited by ZodWallop; 06-28-2020 at 09:22 PM. |

A more important consideration is the ability to customize a Kobo. The possibilities are many, thanks to the brilliant and generous people here on MR. |

I've decided to wait for a new model (hopefully with usb C) but did have a question based upon many posts I've seen... why is everyone always asking for firmware images? Are they trying to apply hacks and mess things up?

Because they bricked their Kobo somehow or the SD card failed.

Because they're straying far away from the normal day-to-day intended usage of the device, installing hacks, etc... if you're just reading and using it as designed, you won't have any such problems. At least with Kobo you can recover from such a dramatic mess-up. |

Actually there are people who've had their SD card develop faults, and on the old Kobo WiFi there was an OTA upgrade that for some reason caused corruption of something resulting in the inability to read any content.

I'd still argue that it's nothing to worry about for somebody looking to buy a new device.

Because Kobos aren't sold in my country, while Kindles are.

I agree. The number of requests is not that high compared to the actual devices out there. And, I'm fairly sure that a lot of the requests for images could be fixed by doing a factory reset properly.
