@timlegge,
Again, I'm sorry you do not value your freedom. I'm also sorry that you appear to dislike working with technology as much as you do. Of course, If I traded my freedom away for a little convenience, I would probably develop the same attitude over time and lash out at others who force me to look at my own lack of conviction. In other words, I understand. That said, I'm also confident that the road you've chosen will lead you back to the good fight eventually. Given enough time, you'll get burned (again) just as you have before. It always happens when empowerment is traded away.
Anyway, let's get this thead back on track. If anyone from Kobo's development team is reading this, I just want to say that I have no interest in any wares that are distributed under a non FSF approved license. I run GNU/Linux because it is a Free Software operating system that respects my freedom to use for any purpose, modify, and redistribute the software. I have no intention of bastardizing my system by installing software that does not respect these same freedoms. When Kobo development releases software that respects these freedoms via a suitable license, I'll be more than happy to evaluate it and weigh in on the potential technical and pragmatic benefits.
