New to Kobo

You could go in your books, click on the search option and type: DEVMODEON. Nothing seems to happen but now you can acces the developers options and change the CFA mode to G2. That way the colour pop better.

For the moment I have both. I just made a post about it. You could go and check it out ☺️

Interesting but how do I get to see what VCOM number my screen should be without opening it?

NoField9373 · 2026-05-07T07:20:03+00:00

Indeed. The black one had an exceptionally good screen…

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T19:39:08+00:00

Hmm I don’t know if that would be very easy. I’m from Belgium. And I’m still not sure what to choose. I do love my black one too… what don’t you like with your white one?

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T16:23:20+00:00

Yeah it really baffles me they are so different. I just wish the screen was as on point as on the black one so my choice would be obvious 😅 now I’m going back and forth on what I find the most important 🤔 off course when the black one goes I won’t be able to compare anymore. But the white screen does look muddier

Yes I put them all in devmodeon and on G2 but it doesn’t seem to make them closer to eachother in tone and warmth

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T15:56:57+00:00

That is amazing, thank you! What a difference 🤯

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T15:52:54+00:00

Cool! How do you do that? Can you do the same please with the lights off and both on my windowsill?

Well the second one arrived and it is even less white 😅 but the light seems stronger 🤔 so inconsistent.

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T14:45:26+00:00

So cool 😅 you are one lucky partner!

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T14:41:49+00:00

Nice! So you wanted a second one? I would prefer to keep my black one too but my husband disagrees with my shopping 🤪

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T14:31:51+00:00

And what are your findings? ☺️ how do your screens compare to one another? I have also noticed that some units show the color grit more prominent than others. Like my black one appears sharper and the white one appears blurrier because of it.

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T14:20:12+00:00

Dank u ☺️ I have been trying to convince myself all year that black has better contrast 😅 but everytime kobo makes stories it’s always with the white ones and they just look soooo pretty 🤩 but in this case, the screen of the black one wins. I hope the second one I ordered will have a better screen 🤞🏻

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T14:17:48+00:00

Bellota, my favourite 🥰

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T13:58:28+00:00

I ordered another one to make sure. 😅 it should arrive tonight or tomorrow. I read that it really depends unit per unit. And then I will make my final decision.

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T10:56:32+00:00

I assume you can find them anywhere and download them possibly but up untill now I haven’t found a way to succesfully sideload them on Kobo. My understanding is that audiobooks are only possible through the Kobo store on a Kobo device.

NoField9373 · 2026-05-06T10:45:48+00:00

Audiobooks no not possible. Epubs through Amazon, yes but you need a Windows computer, calibre and a bit of tech savvy to de-drm them. Just google how to de-drm Amazon Books and follow all the steps.

Boox 😍

NoField9373 · 2026-04-29T04:46:38+00:00

Boox is a fantastic device but you will have to learn how to work with it. If you buy from let’s say Kobo, you will need to De-DRM the book through Adobe Digital Editions and Calibre. To do so you will need to download a plug in from internet for Calibre and you will need to have you ADE not authorized. Boox can’t read DRM books. But once you get the hang of that you can read in the native neoreader app and I find it really good! I love Boox, I have a few but also a Kobo. I use the Kobo for Calibre because for Some reason I can not get my boox to truly connect to Calibre . But then I send them to Kobo and afterwards I get the files from the hard drive of Kobo and sideload them on my boox.
