OS, BusyBox[edit]

The article states that the operating system is "Kobo Touch Firmware 1.9.16" while it probably should also mention that it's based on Linux.

A BusyBox shell can be made available according to [1] --89.12.42.51 (talk) 10:49, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pocket[edit]

There is a 'Pocket' service in the latest firmwares. The reader can save web pages to a central 'Pocket' account and then sync to the devices and read later. I couldn't find out when it started. Maybe somebody will extend the article with the info. Pkunk (talk) 14:31, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Other applications[edit]

I got no-where + HELP, in just gives 1 the Kobo web-site, so I've written mine own:

3 'EXTRAS':

Drawing that saves as *.png @ 600*750
Sedoku game
Web Browser

A Kobo Touch N905C with all the updates applied — Software Version "3.18.0 (b88456ee3d, 9/23/15)" as at 25th November 2015 — has Sketchpad, Sudoku, Web Browser and Unblock It as the four "Beta Features". SandJ-on-WP (talk) 11:16, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Chess[edit]

Not found chess.

I inherited one of these and it came with four items including Chess and a web browser. Having let it apply updates (in early November 2015) the Chess disappeared and was replaced by Unblock It, a game where you "Liberate your block by moving other blocks out of the way". So, they have changed the four applications that came with it. SandJ-on-WP (talk) 11:16, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Translate:[edit]

English-French-English
   "   -German-    "
   "   -Spanish-   "
   "   -Italian-   "

But 1 needs to remember the word & then type it in if not using an *.epub file. (touch the screen in a downwards direction, & then touch chose word.)

French (also for Canada), German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch & Chinese languages may be chosen.

Also dictionaries for:

German & English (for all file types)
French (if using an *.epub file)
Chinese (using *.epub file in that language)

File types =: *.txt *.rtf *.htm *.pdf *.gif *.jpg *.png & *.epub

If text file has only characters 32~127 ASCI okay but if some characters 160~255 then save as UTF-8.
                               

If has characters Nos. 128~159 or Nos. more than 255 then save as HTM or RTF.

By using the Georgia typeface, just about all accented letters are seen. Other typefaces maybe added.

Yeah Write for Windows from www.wordplace.com can be used to make files with characters 128~159, just export as Yeah Write file with an htm file extention.

FAT32 file system has 1,427,988,480 bytes (1.32GB)
