Kobo Books Reviews

Annotation done very poorly; no way to export markups - Disappointing

S1M1_ on

India

Wanted to try out the app since it has support for annotation with the Apple Pencil. The experience was infuriating. If you want to markup something on the page, there’s no easy way to do — you have to tap in just the right place at the top of the screen (twice), then select the markup tool. But then you cannot turn pages in this mode. So you need to switch it off. It gets cumbersome. Also no way to export annotations like on Kindle to save for later. The ONLY way to go back to your annotations is to open the book.

Continuous scrolling

Please add an option for continuous scrolling of the pages in a book. Like Kindle has an option for it.

Great app, but reader page turn is very slow, compared to kindle for example

Good to have kobo

India

KOBO is more costlier than other e-book platform but your dictionary is par excellent and one enjoys finding more thesaurus. Back ground can be adjusted according to ones need and have more soothing effect on eyes. Esoteric books like history of the western philosophy by Russell is not available on other platform(e-book )….regards for the KOBO
