Question Exit sleep screen gesture not working on Kobo Forma
Just installed KOReader and really enjoying it so far!

The Kobo Forma has an annoying power button to deal with so I'm trying to replace it with gestures to sleep and wake the device.

I'm using the "Suspend" gesture to put the device into sleep mode however I the "Exit sleep screen" gesture doesn’t wake the device up.

Am I missing something or does this command not work on this device?

The gesture does NOT replace the power button. You still need to press the power button and then do the gesture to sort of “unlock” the device.

Ah, thx for the quick reply - was hoping there was a way to unlock without the power button.

AFAIK the only other option for waking is a sleep cover (or waving magnets around to trick the device).

Another advantage to using a cover.
