The switch on my Glo has worn down enough to make it hard to use. This is is a sliding switch and the grip on it was never very good. Now I have to used a fingernail under the edge to move it.
But, I do agree with you. If someone is comfortable without a cover on their ereader, they should use it that way. As well as putting their ereader in a pocket, not worrying about ligatures, starting Discworld from one of the sub-series, not upgrading to Windows 10, using per-screen page numbering, like USB C, putting space between paragraphs and no indents or not minimising the CSS in a stylesheet. Have I forgotten anything? Last edited by davidfor; 03-18-2021 at 06:11 AM. |

In no particular order, and not certain any of these would be "Kindle Killers" per se, but they'd make the Kobo devices more perfect for my use case -
1. Page #s in TOC. 2. Haptic or page turn buttons for the Aura One LE. 3. Bring back the external SD card feature. |

Yes, for a title, author or series. But you cannot search for a word or a phrase in all your books at once. You can search the contents only in the book you have currently open.

OK, I see what you're asking for, something like a full indexing as is done on the Kindles when uploading new content to the device.

Not sure if it'd be a killer feature for a lot of people, but making PDF readable instead of whatever passes for PDF these days would have prevented me from buying an Inkpad X in the first place.
(I can't even remember if Kobo has reflow, but last time I checked, reflow per se wasn't that good to begin with, so...) |
