It doesn't do all it was advertised to do.
I don't think that's a result of dishonesty. I don't think that what has happened in the marketplace, which I think has wrought havoc on Kobo's business plans, was anything that anyone could reasonably have expected them to have anticipated.

I'll throw out any guesses I want, thank you. But please note that I clearly stated it was just a guess.
My point all along has been to disagree with the TONE from Kobono, and what I consider to be the unreasonableness of his position.
I believe that he has implied (and pretty strongly) that Kobo deliberately screwed over us 1st Gen owners by advertising vapourware that they never had any intention of implementing and callously stringing us along ever since. He has consistently presented his
interpretation of the events as undeniable, manifest "facts" and then insulted anyone who disagreed.
So while I totally agree that Kobo hasn't delivered everything they told us they would, I have three issues with Kobono's posts:
1. I don't agree with his characterization of Kobo's actions as dishonest. I just think that events overtook them and they've been doing their best to do their best.
2. I don't agree with insulting other list members and calling them stupid. I don't agree with insulting the intelligence of the rest of us by trying to convince us after the fact that those insults were just perfectly reasonable inferences about the intelligence and character of those list members based on the content of their posts.
3. The people that actually care about the substance of missing functionality can probably be counted without even taking off your mittens and shoes. If you're one of them, and if you are truly upset, then pick up the phone and call the Kobo people directly, get hold of a senior manager and explain your position. The vibe I get from them is that they'll try to do something to make you happy.
