Summary of Kobo Books Problems 🔥

- Takes a good number of taps and navigating to make notes or to find then

- Options to change fonts, line spacing and margins is limited

- Background color choice is very limited, and text color cannot be changed

- Bugy: notifications of opening book on another device when not intended, book marked as read half way through without intending to do it

- No way to sort by ratings that you give to books, genres of books, and it doesn’t recognize the names of authors from books you download from another site

- Duplicate entries in its book database, where the exact same edition of the same book is listed two or even more times, frequently with different prices

Please note new email. Old email was holbrookj@redacted When I select one my books the cover appears but will not open the rest of the book, for example To Kill a Troubador by Martin Walker.

My kobo reader app keeps starting my book over from the beginning. Sometimes it won’t allow me to turn a page, it’s just stuck. It’s been rather a pain lately.

Suddenly my Kobo won’t download books from library. I went back and reinstalled Libby by Overdrive. Internet connection is good. I powered Kobo off and then turned back on. None of these actions worked.

Same problem as Rosemary on Galaxy Tab A8 And Galaxy A9 Smartphone. Tap the app icon and it opens momentarily and then stops. I found I can gain access by browsing the kobo store. Kobo acknowledges it has a problem, but doesn't know when it will be fixed.
