If you look at the brightside, at least Kobo offers a chat where some minor problems can be solved pretty quickly. Sure, all customers services can be improved, and it is definitely right to complain, otherwise they'll never know - but Kobo's CS could be much, much worse!
Actually, I find the opposite to be true. One book I purchased from Kobo was completely blank, except for a TOC -- and this from a major publisher. It took nearly half an hour on the phone to convince Kobo c.s. that indeed the book was missing content. No refund was given -- they said they would report it. Six months later -- the faulty book was still in Kobo's store for sale. That was the last purchase I made at Kobo.

Amazon, OTOH, will immediately refund for a faulty book and will obtain corrected versions from publishers. I have always found Amazon's c.s. to be outstanding. No contest.
