Mine too. Kobo's very good at responding to customers and releasing firmware updates, but Oaxis/whatever-it's-called may well just let the Kogan Reader off the leash and focus on something else. If that transpires it's not good enough, considering the fact that two significant bugs were found on day one.

I played with a demo unit of the Pico and something else (the Hanvon?) at JB last weekend. The something-else unit had a nasty off-white fake-reptile surface that looked and feeled like a nanna's purse in the '60s. Both of them were broken, both had horrible clicky buttons, and both were more expensive than the Kobo (although, to be fair, both probably have far superior functionality).
I've never owned an e-ink reader, but at least I've done some research. Anyone walking in off the street to play with those JB demo units would just stick with treebooks.
