So, I upgraded my Sprint HTC Hero to 2.1, downloaded my Kobo software, loaded up my ebook, and...

Yech. The book loads, but for my purchased ebook, page turns usually don't work, and if they do, they take a few seconds to do so. Judging by the comments in Android Market, many others are in the same leaky boat although it appears to work for some people. It seems like you released this way too early. Time to market to get market feedback is one thing, but it doesn't do you any good to release that buggy of a product and burn your brand.

Shortcovers on Android 1.6 was basic, but at least it worked. But now that doesn't work on 2.1 either.
