Wanted features - Page 21

Tom.P · 10-05-2013, 04:07 PM

When reading on "fit width" mode, please add possibility to scroll page only by half or so, becouse when you have some text as image or some other images and tables, its uncomfortable to to click and see other half of image. It would be nice to be able to set percentage of page move.

Tom.P · 10-05-2013, 04:10 PM

Next thing, which is rather bug i think, when you open web browser, favourite pages, it is not possible to add more favourites than those, that can fit on screen. If it's hard to do some scrolling trough favourites, add possibility to add folders or so. Next I would like to edit favourite page name at last.

Tom.P · 10-05-2013, 04:26 PM

And one more thing from me, please add possibility to hide some folders in Library (especially "applications" folder)

Hallo guys. I would really love someway to easily send Internet articles well-formatted to my Pocketbook Touch. Something like "Send to Kindle" function...or the pocketbook integration.

Any chance of this being possible?

Hyron · 10-23-2013, 10:45 AM

I was wondering, if you could design a poweroff logo, which could be updated after every shutdown for e-ink devices? Ie. to include there some system info, like remaining battery, last activation, free internal memory? This could stay on screen after poweroff, and then I would know, If I need to recharge the device before next use, should I load my books on sd card or to device etc. I know that text to bitmap conversion is possible in C# - text only logo screen is an acceptable option, of course a picture with changable text areas would be even better. I hope it can gather 5 votes!

This is much better option than constantly plugging USB or removing SD card (to prevent warning out connectors).

YES! This feature is really needed. My suggestion is somthing like Altap Salamder (Win) or Ghost Commander (Android). I'm using PB 622

6- Ability to link an info file (with a hide attribute) to a folder/ebook in the bookshelf. (see above) Combined with a new Bookshelf mode that displays the info instead of the thumbnail when the file is highlighted it could be used for book summaries, ratings.

Basically, the Pocketbook environment isn't just an electronic ebook reader, it's an electronic *library*. The file management features are great (and better than most competitors) but it would be nice if we could move from file management (so '80's!) to *document* management, which requires using the ebook's metadata.

Anybody agree with that last statement as a *goal*?
(Yeah, I know; its not a computer and I'm not asking that the bookshelf become a database; just for a way to manage the ebooks using metadata, not just file attributes. A PC-based app that creates hidden info files might do the trick.)

Just throwing ideas out okay?
But better dictionary support is a must.

And LIT suport? Pretty please?

Open PDF from a HTML file would really great and would enhance usability of PB912 in real world legal and technical setting.

All votes for this!

Using the Metadata more helpful to.

Vote for this too.

Tom.P · 11-05-2013, 06:03 PM

One of useful feature could be possibility to lock only touchscreen. What do you think? Would it be useful to you too?

lassen_wir_das · 12-23-2013, 04:59 AM

Please forgive that I did not read all 20 pages. In case some of the features mentioned are already on the board, just count it as a vote:

1. An "hourglass" that informs me if the reader is unavailable for further commands (the LED is not bright enough to be informative during the day)

2. Deactivation of the browsing/pageflipping touchscreen-functions while in the "notes"-mode. (For me relevant with .pdfs)

3. A lightweight text/notes editor asides from notes applied to books.
3a. A smarter keyboard, especially a "one capitalized letter"-Shift-Key (as I write mostly
in German, I need various single capital letters per sentence)

4. Some language training application (I found in some outdated list a hint that there already was one? However, I did not find a version suited for my 623.)

5. The mp3-player should remember it's last position in an audio file after closing it or shutting down the device, like the textreader does.

Oh yes PLEASE! Please please please. I want to be able to set up my own HTML pages which I can then use to navigate my collection. I could do this on my old Bebook Neo (aka Onyx Boox), and I miss it so much.

Please too!! But add PDF.

There are so many HTML-Site around which abstract documents and link to the PDF-Dokuments. Getting a offline version of such Informationpackages is easy, but links to local files are not supported by Pocketbook, until now.

I have a 912 Pocketbook. An wait so long to unleash its full potential!

Any way I ask for it long ago. Please add it. I

Please!

Yes, I agree with this one

I have a new 632. Would like 2 features returned that were on my PB302.

1. allow swiping to properly change pages. Taps work fine. Swiping does not. Also be nice to alter the touch areas on the screen (to change what area moves forward, etc).

2. allow making a Folder a Favourite. Currently you can only mark a file as a Favorite. This means I cannot mark an Author as a Favourite.

Billi · 02-26-2014, 06:03 AM

kgn, I don'nt think that this thread gets any attention by Pocketbook (anymore).

The most useful moderations for the Pocketbook 623 are the themes made by SIRSTEINER,
You will find them in the German subforum:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=214445

(Please come back here or ask there for translations if language is a problem.)

alex_kraft · 03-27-2014, 05:25 AM

Emm hi everyone. I'm from the main office of PocketBook (service dep), found this forum. And from now on i'll promise that everything written here will be discussed. But as a sugestion, with the problems that you have encountered, you should address to the nearest service centers.

But I'll check new topics and try to reply as soon as possible
