You have to press them just right a lot of times it will either turn the page or bring up the menu options instead. This isn’t something unique with newspapers, the Kobo Touch has problems recognizing hyperlinks in regular ebooks too.

The problem with the Calibre version, however, is that it’s difficult to get the Kobo Touch to activate the hyperlinks. It has the same articles and mostly the same layout as the paid version from Kobo. The only feature they lack, like other non-Kobo ePubs, is the ability to share on Facebook. Holding down on a word brings up options to look it up in the dictionary and sharing on Facebook.įree news feeds from Calibre on the other hand have all the layout settings available that ebooks have since they are in ePub format. You can adjust the font type and size, but not line-spacing, margins, or justification. There aren’t as many layout choices for periodicals as with ebooks. Tapping on the headline directs to the full article. Each section shows the article heading with a summery. You can jump to the different sections by tapping in the center of the screen to bring up the option bar, where you can select the sections menu and list of articles. Newspapers on the Kobo Touch are sorted into sections.
