Rockwell is not a default font on the Kobo Glo v 2.1.4 BUT you can add your own custom fonts if you like. They just won't have the font weight and sharpness options that the firmware fonts have. |

For those who want to use the "Sleep Cover" function, I've got a quick hack:
Put a small rare earth magnet in your Kobo book style cover so that it's near the lower right corner of the screen. About 0.5cm from the bottom worked for me. |

Is there a faster flip mode for page turns? On the cybooks if you hold the page turn button down, the pages turn really fast. Since the kobo does not have physical buttons, is there a way to do this?

Another question: can you have it show you current page number vs total pages in book in the status bar? The video I saw had something like number of pages left in chapter, which doesn't really do much for me.

Thanks Lunchtray but I didn't think that image really showed it very clearly, the screen looks a bit strange in that photo?

Pic's of the glowing for both devices will look strange depending on the camera exposure length and other such things. |

This appears to depend on the book source, all of my other sourced (ie: Project Gutenburg etc.) books show pages in the book, but those I've bought directly from Kobo show pages in chapter. Can't see any setting for this.

Thoughts so far. 2 2/3 books read so far.
Kobo Glo fw 2.1.4
So far I'm happy with it, I just wish the new cover had shipped at the same time, without a cover it seems too small, and although it sort of fits in my touch cover, the touch was claimed minutes after I'd unpacked the glo, and they expect the cover to go with it... |
