Kobo Clara BW

This is about the Kobo Clara BW 6".

Some Issues

Some settings are hard to reach (or very hard to reach) without some customization (using Nickelmenu). For example:

• Dark mode requires: More > Settings > Reading Settings > Dark Mode (compare with Kindle which is Swipe Down > Dark Mode
• Restarting the device reuqires holding down the power button for 1-15 seconds, then releasing, and holding down the button again.
• Dark mode doesn't actually work on the Interface, only the ebooks themselves. There is a setting in Nickel which is inverse mode to help with this.
