I have come to realize that the reason for most of the groaning has to do with the difference between the first Kobo and the Kobo Wifi. As a Wifi user I couldn't understand the complaints. I am glad to see that the older Kobo has got a firmware update to help things. I think some of it has to do with expectations. Having been a gadget girl for a long time I am used to first adopters pains. This is why I waited until the second gen Kobo and wasn't interested in paying too much for any ereader. Since I bought mine the latest Sony models have hit the stores. It is always the way with a new type of gadget that they improve rapidly. My only real beef with my Kobo is the torn plastic on the dpad. Not sure if it is worth exchanging for that or if a new one would be any different.
