For a random reminder, you need to have a way to input he reminder to be shown and when. And having just one is pretty pointless. You would need another reminder to set it before starting reading. To make it at all useful, you need to implement a full calendar/todo list which including adding the reminders and storing them. And probably getting them from somewhere such as Google calendar. Honestly, stick to the device as a reader and use on of the many general purpose devices out there for your calendar. Maybe turn their alarm volume up. If the idea was to have a simple interruption after reading for a certain amount of time, similar to the apps that prompt you to get up from the computer, that is a different matter. That is just a simple timer with a fixed, "Maybe you should do something else for a while" message. And what sort of cats do you have? I've never met one that didn't make sure you knew it was feeding time. And keep telling you ![]() |

I would like to see in kobo the same free-hand writing functionality present in sony PRS-T1. With this feature you can draw on the book (making cricle, arrow, etc...) in the same way you do it with paper books. It is very usefull is you use the reader for studing.

Remove the full refresh after menu/lookup/sleep-wake
After the latest update one of the improvements is ghosting doesnt occur anymore. Earlier ghosting was apparent in many places (after book menu or dictionary lookup shown, or after waking device from sleep). So, kobo has a complete refresh (or full refresh) after each of these activities (in case of sleep-wake and dictionary lookup, refresh happens during next page turn and in case of menu it happens immediately).
As I said earlier (and others have commented before) the ghosting is almost completely absent now and the full refresh (which is an eye sore and a disturbance) is unnecessary now. It will be great if kobo removed/disabled this full refresh (at least as an option). Last edited by vjjustin; 04-18-2020 at 07:00 AM. |

And why are you asking for someone else to create the feature request? If you think this is important, contact Kobo and tell them. Just like everyone else who sees a bug or wants a change made. Just in case you don't know, this forum is not an official Kobo support channel. There used to be some Kobo employees here as members, but, it was never in any official capacity. I don't know if there are any here now. |

I removed that last sentence if that makes your mind at ease. Also, if this thread isn't useful anymore may be time to close it?
Why do we even have a 'feature request' thread if we are to reply with 'why are you asking for features here' on every request? Food for thought. Any idea what the kobo feature request thread is? I found this page but I didn't find any option to go to issue/feature requests. Also, I just realised the older readers might have ghosting still present. But still I believe it can be added as an option. Last edited by vjjustin; 04-18-2020 at 07:16 AM. |

The only reason I objected to the statement was because you seemed to think it was someone else's responsibility to report your ideas.

Don't let me dissuade you from making the request. I strongly encourage everyone to make suggestions to Kobo for things they think will improve the devices. The only way that Kobo will know what you really want is if you tell them. It doesn't matter much what I or anyone else here thinks, if you can express your idea to Kobo well enough, they might adopt it. |

I think this thread is great! It collects all thse noise of people asking for features the kobo already has in one place instead of polluting all the other threads here. And every now and then, I read these and think "Interesting...didn't know it could do that" Last edited by compurandom; 04-18-2020 at 11:10 AM. |

It could be very nice to add a secondary check box on each option of the developers mode (when we use "devmodeon") in order to activate or not a button in the top bar when we read a book.
I think in particular to options that are frequently changed (day mode / night mode, etc) because that is not very practical to have to navigate to the developer's page each time to choose the good setting (InvertScreen is really a good example : twice a day and sometime more). It could be something like this : Option / Activate / Icon on top bar InvertScreen [] [] BookSpecificStats [] [] Screenshots [] [] Sorry for my bad english.

The same goes for the other options you mentioned. Adding the "BookSpecificStats" option to the config file adds an entry to the menu for the book in the library. That should be a set-and-forget. And screenshots, again, are you really taking that many screen shots that you need it in the icon bar? I can understand an option to turn the capability on and off so that you can easily free up the power button. Adding the option to somewhere like the Beta features should be enough. |

What I would like are profiles for this purpose: one profile for night mode with light set at 7%, and one profile for day mode with lighting set at 30% (user configurable). The profiles would have to be quickly accessible. * at least, that is how I use it |
