Price drop

So they've finally gone ahead and dropped the price down to $128, I just got sent the email. I'd be happy about this if I hadn't already bought one. I rather feel as if I payed $20 for the privilege...

I'm not here to argue with you over the merits of 64-bit windows. Regardless of your feelings on the subject, how is trashing 64-bit going to help somebody in this forum? Nobody is going to...

This sort of comment is distinctly unhelpful. If everybody had that kind of attitude we'd all still be using windows 95. Don't blame consumers for installing a more modernized version of the...

This is how it works in the current implementation. However, when you put your kobo to sleep, it only stays asleep for 15 minutes before completely shutting off. That's what the problem is. That...

Ok, then why does the Kobo need to power fully off after 15 minutes, if it is already consuming minimal power in sleep mode? I would really like a sleep mode that stays that way. I know that's how...

I just checked, and it's the same thing on mine too. Seems like once you open it, it will be on your "My books" list forever.

+1. I thought that this was what the Kobo employees said would be implemented. I don't see how it's useful at all to have the device power off completely from sleep mode, but never go into sleep mode...

I think that's a bit harsh. For me at least it works just fine for the most part. I agree that it now seems over-priced considering the lack of features and the lack of testing before launch, but...

Really? I noticed a huge difference once I started turning mine off. Maybe the issue causing battery drain is not affecting all devices.

That sounds about right to me. Also, since we can't access those files at all, there is no way to modify the spacing.

@ Duiker:
