I got hit by the missing graphics in Snow Crash like the user in another thread, and I've been sticking to ADE ever since.
That isn't being a jerk at all, it's a very fair question.

We consider Adobe's renderer to be a Plan B, but there is some baggage that comes along with that, such as limitations on our ability to sync bookmarks across platforms.

Without implementing our own renderer, we can't build all the great features we have on our other platforms (at least not in a way that works with those platforms), and would effectively be the same as every other eReader that uses Adobe's platform.

For some users, Adobe's renderer would be enough, but it won't be enough for Kobo to deliver on our full promise, which is what we are targeting.
