Kobo has updated a much-needed refurbish to its Touch e-reader, bringing new fonts and plan options. Previously, the not-too-bad e-ink Kobo was paltry to a selection of only two font, with no way to manage the way these were represented on-screen. The giveaway 1.9.5 refurbish fixes this.
First up are the fonts. You can right away select between 7 typefaces - Amasis, Avenir, Delima, Felbridge, Georgia, Gill Sans and Rockwell. we picked Amasis, and not only since it's the initial on the list: to my eye it's the smallest overt when reading.
Next are the typesetting options. Now you can manage rise size, line spacing, border size, fact (off, full or ragged-right) and something called "Kobo Styling."
The border surroundings is the large a here. The IR beams that discover your finger to trigger the touch-screen meant that the shade is set over back in the box than in, say, the Kindle. This a casts tiny but not considerate shadows at the corner of the screen. Previously, the content ran right to the edge, in to these shadows. It was a large distraction. Now, the shadows are still there, but the content may be changed out of the way.
You can moreover increase your own fonts around the Kobo desktop software.
Finally, about that "Kobo Styling" option. we even though we was going crazy, clicking it and saying no effects. It turns out that it unequivocally doesn't do anything. According to a forum posting by Kobo novice George Talusan, "The checkbox is vestigial. We'll eliminate it in a future let go but in the meantime have fun clicking it."
The refurbish is possibly already commissioned on your Kobo device, or will spin up soon, over the air.
