Comment on Rakuten Kobo returns to U.S. retail as sales doubleparent

Comments

I am the developer of an app where its main purpose is to optimize file size and page turn performance of comics/manga on low-powered ereaders like Kobo: https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc

That looks amazing! I've been thinking to move to Kobo as well with iBooks feeling like abandonware, and it's also been interesting to see community projects like Nico Verbruggen's typesetting fixes for ebooks[1][2].

Honestly, seeing your fixes and his, makes me more excited about potentially getting one with all the tuning possible.

Time to wait and see if anything new gets announced at IFA.

Thanks! I'll be looking at this very soon. I'd heard of it, but hadn't ever looked its features.
