What is with the Kobo Store website?

Edit: Typical, I spend days on a problem, and then asking in and of itself seemed to work. I found the little x button in the corner.

How annoying that the history button is in the way of everything! Weird, mine is neatly in the corner, out of the way (but still annoying).

You can turn of the history tracking by going to "My account". Scroll down in the Account settings to below where you enter your credit card details. There's a table that will allow you to check "Do not track the items I view". Hit save, and all should work well again.

Yes, it was in the corner, but still took up a huge corner and interfered with the "completeness" of the page. I finally found the little microscopic 'x' and was able to thus make it go poof.

Still it is not necessary for it to have been there at all. I must say it definitely was not an improvement to the site.

Thanks for that, did not know there was a way to turn it off

Thank you so much for this. I will be delighted to not have to deal with it again!

Yeah. I *hate* their site now. ALL their new "improvements" just makes things awkward. I can't even browse English books just because I enter their site with 'foreign' IP address. I don't read Dutch books! I've never bought any from Kobo! Give me English browsing back! Sheesh. (Just my little rant because it fits with the thread title

)
