Prior purchases you made from the Kobo Bookstore, including audiobooks, books, manga and PDF files will continue to work. Many people will likely love this change. Instead of it showing the books you are currently reading and Kobo recommendations, the home screen now defaults to your library. When you are completely logged out, your home screen will change. You can continue to have WIFI on, and this will allow you to continue to use the internet browser and receive future firmware updates. If you want to try out Sideload Mode and you already are logged into your Kobo account, you need to go to the settings menu and under accounts, log out.

This cannot be further from the truth, sideload mode provides a number of key elements to make your Kobo e-reader much better for people who do not buy content from the Kobo Store or borrow ebooks from Overdrive. There was lots of confusion over what this actually did, most users said that they simply sideloaded all of their books anyways and this new system did not provide anything new. Not sure what to do with this knowledge.Kobo recently introduced sideload mode via the 6 firmware update a couple of weeks ago. I think I will continue to use it for the better contrast anyway. Any help or advice?Įdit It looks like the synthetic spread feature is in the kepub formatting and doesnt have to do with size. The other issues are very nitpicky but I will probably need stick with using the forma for the moment if I can't resolve the 2 panel issue. Right now I am torn because the darker blacks and better sharpness is very nice. Also oddly it is slower to change pages(might be because it is not native size or something as well) Otherwise for reading manga, I think the extra capacity and better backlight is great, Black is darker, but the Greys and Whites seem very slightly dirtier on the Sage up close(I think it is caused by the different size/resolution of the files and might not be a flaw of the Sage since text pages are fine) Also notable is that the after-images are more noticeable(setting it to refresh every page fixes it).

It also sometimes goes to background color after tilting and won't return to the image even after going to the next page or trying to tilt back, which is weird.ĭo I need to wait for the KCC update or is there some setting, or a quick fix to adjust the resolution myself in KCC?Ģ. KCC does not have the sage image sizing yet and the Forma size is a little different which I believe makes it so the the 2 panel feature doesn't work and it zooms in on a single page instead The forma had the same problem until KCC released the update. Is there any way to get the 2 panel spread feature to work on the sage for sideloaded manga right now?

Going from the 8gb Forma to the Sage, Primarily use it for reading manga.
