So ... I believe Kobo has delivered everything it promised when I signed up and I am very encouraged that the future is bright for me as an ongoing customer.

You know, I was skeptical at first about the Kobo...I really wanted a Kindle (because it was more fancy shmancy...just seemed to have more features for around the same price). But - there were two factors that lead me to buying the Kobo: 1. Library books/epub format; 2. Canadian company/warranty/support.
I am actually quite proud of Kobo - I think your post is bang-on. They've really done an amazing job in a short period of time. I think they have a lot of potential for the future.
As for their current product - it does everything I want it to do, so I am satisfied. I wish I could replace the batteries and extend its life, but we'll see about longevity....
