No, that is the publishers job. And we all know what a stellar job they do of that! |

It shouldn't be up to Kobo to guess whether Carter, Anderson refers to Anderson Carter or two authors with last names Carter and Anderson. |

Yes, they could make it a more manual process. Are you willing to pay the extra costs? |

Well, I learn something new every year. Good to know it's automated. I suspected, but like Rcentros, didn't know. Now I can speak authoritatively on the subject to the vast throngs I regularly interact with

Kobo does have a role in the metadata management for the books they sell, but, as others have said, if they get rubbish from the publishers, there isn't much they can do. |

Of course, I could be wrong as the description of the problem is so bad, that other than there being a metadata issue with the author, I can't be sure what the problem is. Last edited by davidfor; 11-30-2019 at 03:52 AM. |

What I want to know is that if I was to purchase this book, would I get the latest version or would i get the same version I downloaded? |

I really hope those E-readers don't use no Kobo Hardware for tolino ALWAYS had a far better contrast than Kobo.
I own a Tolino vision 4HS and a Kobo libra both. Believe it or not, even with the screen zize difference reading comics is BETTER on the tolino 6'' screen rather than on kobo libra 6.7'' screen because of contrast. It's lilke the ink was extremely different and much more defined. The lightining tuning is FAR better too on the Tolino. On the libra, there are TONS of too red or too blue settings, and in the end I stop setting my light between two options only: too blue or too red. On the other side, Tolino's lightning colour setting is much more faded and it makes much more sense. Again, I do really hope Tolino didn't stop using it's former technology and it's just a matter of sizes and buttons. Last edited by Wallace Lee; 12-02-2019 at 03:07 PM. |
