Hi everyone,
I have the Aura HD. It works very well for me, but that's not what this thread is about.
The thing is, I like e-readers :book2: I like the internet :bookworm: I like to browse the internet on my e-reader :bookworm: But, you see, the experimental browser on the Kobo has one big problem (aside from being very basic feature-wise), and it's scrolling. Scrolling is a terrible way to move across content on an e-reader because of the screen refresh rates and the black-white flicker.
Honestly, I believe e-readers have a potential to be some of the best web-browsing devices around, especially for sober reference sites such as Wikipedia. E-reader web browsing could be infinitely better with the simplest tweak: break the web page into screen sized pages that we can flip through like a book.
I wonder if a QT application that does this is available, or that any developer would take an interest in creating one, or customizing an existing browser.
This sounds so simple that I find it hard to believe that I should be the first to bring it up. But I've done searches and came up with nothing. I guess the problem is that it is hard to describe in a few search terms. My apologies if the topic has been discussed extensively.
