I sure do hope they get rid of those quotes. Somewhere, there was a suggestion that they are actually imbedded in (firmware?). Tell me it ain't so ... please!

Those of us who made a living taming computers learned many decades ago that you never mix data with code. Let alone having that "data" be some Developer's or Manager's idea of what is sage, witty or whatever ...

I really do like my Kobo. The annoyance of the quotes is one of my few gripes. I appreciate the effort that goes into trying to get software to work, and to keep improving it, while trying to satisfy every customer. Keep up the good work, folks!
