So I brought the thing back within two weeks and said it’s defective. I tried to contact the tech at Coles to confirm that it might be a firmware problem and that I’d like to try rolling back. Screen touch response was very inconsistent.
#Kobo touch software
(I own their WiFi and Touch, buying the WiFi because it was cheap at the time, but nowhere close to as nice as my Sony PRS505, and the Touch, well nice, when it freaking works…) Replyįirst time, I brought the Kobo Touch home, connected to the web and installed the software etc. Whomever owns Kobo just doesn’t seem to get it, which would be the crux of a review that I would personally write. I’m personally beginning to think that Kobo is yet another shell company whose only interest is foisting off device after device year after year as their primary “business” model, which is sad.Īnd to the lady who mentioned specifically double taps -> two page advances, yep I’ve experienced those, although sometimes the double taps equal a single page turn, it’s so irritatitngly erratic that had the Kindle Touch been available I’d’ve bought that last spring and flipped the bird to B&N & Kobo…
I’ve had these problems EVER since I bought the thing, wich was early July and whatever fw that was and EVERY one since, so no, downgrading your fw ain’t gonna fix it… At first I thought that it might have something to do with the sleep function, but now I’m thinking that it has more to do with how long the deviee has been awake and “functional”. I too have had problems with the feedback from the Kobo Touch’s screen. I’m going to finish out the week on the iriver Story HD, and post that review this weekend.
#Kobo touch how to
If you’ve had issues with the touchscreen or you know how to fix it, please leave a comment. I hadn’t realized when I first read the letter quite what nesler meant when he said he wouldn’t recommend the Kobo Touch given the issues I have had I wouldn’t recommend it either. But eventually I decided that the Kobo Touch is a premium ereader, and the public needs to know what they’re getting into when they one. I hesitated to post this complaint, given that I posted someone’s open letter to Kobo Sunday night. All I can say now is that there is a problem, and that it has rendered my Kobo Touch unusable. But I’m not sure, frankly a sample size of 3 isn’t enough to diagnose the problem. That’s what the second comment posted over at MobileRead suggests. If I had to guess, I would say that this is likely a software issue. No, wait, if his experience is that extreme then I wouldn’t call this a quirk this sounds like a major flaw with the Kobo Touch. The device is supposed to support the user, not force the user to adapt to its quirks. Not sure why that is, but it’s where works best for me to tap ergonomically speaking anyway so it works well for me. My experience is that I have the most consistent turns when I tap right down into the bottom right corner of the screen. Within a couple hours I got this response: Normally I might tough it out, but I posted my problem over on MobileRead. This is a problem, because I’m used to devices that let me touch the screen however I want and have it respond. I often have to tap the screen 3 and 4 times before it deigns to turn the page.
My Kobo Touch seems to only recognize very specific screen taps and ignores the rest. I don’t know if I am the only one who has encountered this, but I cannot get the touchscreen to respond consistently (with firmware 1.9.11). Unfortunately, the review is going to have to go on hold until I get my unit downgraded to an older firmware or I get it replaced. I plan to use each one for a week and then write a review on the weekend.īy popular request on Twitter, I set out to review the Kobo Touch first. I took all my ereaders out of storage and stacked up all the ones that I had never written a review for. Over this past weekend I set a new goal for myself. I was planning to write a review of the Kobo Touch this week but unfortunately I have encountered a hardware problem.
