Kobo future firmware feature request thread

Hello thanks for the detailed reply. How far can the Libre 2 go? Is it able to go further than default?

And if so would this request then go in the kobopatch thread?

Thank you

Not sure if this will ever be seen, but I would absolutely love if multi-user support could be integrated into the UI somehow. With different books and progress for each user.

Has anyone already suggested a "B&W" mode on the Libra Colour?

Basically, it would turn your Libra Colour on a sort of Libra 3 with 300ppp all the time.

I mean, the hardware can do it, the software could be able to do it.

A lot of people chose the Libra Colour for the 7'' screen and the button more than for the Colour. Actually, I really thought it was possible to "turn off" the colour feature before buying the ereader.
But hey, how could anyone from Kobo listen to us ?

The problem is that the colour layer is located above the B&W layer, so the screen will still dim and grainy.

The software cannot change the physical properties of the screen, doesn't matter how nicely you ask.

Notice the color filter between the microcapsules and the human user -- that's not completely transparent, even when off and not in use.

Alright... well, it was worth asking I guess.

Thanks for your answers!
