The messages that are pushed through can not be turned off. I have the setting turned off but they continue to come on a daily basis.

As for the content, I don't have one right in front of me but they are statements like, congratulations you have been reading for two hours right past prime time television time or something like that, and others like You've started a new book why not share it with your friends.

these may have something to do with facebook or twitter, but who the hell cares, I don't want to get them, I don't want to share my habits with them or anyone else, or be bothered while relaxing reading the paper. One is forced into participating in this idiotic children's facebook exercise.

Gee goody goody, I'm reading a book and I want to tell then world all about it.

I only get the NY Times on the ipad and do not know where else this crap is pushed to. Kobo does not allow one to read the times on ones desktop.

I do not have a kobo reader but rest assured if you don't have the social reading experience happening on your device yet, you surely will if these moronic marketers have anything to say about it.

Because its all about the money and about integrating with the Zucker bastards grand project of global social farce integration, and the by product being his becoming a billionaire at what, 25?

So tired of it and so will the rest of the world in short order. I'm waiting for the whole thing to come tumbling down, and it will! Their expectations are way out of proportion and it will be comical to see how it crashes and burns in the end!

And I did make a formal complaint to KoBo,don;t expect to hear from the twenty somethings that run that place though, you think they give one hoot about bothering readers with stupid marketing gimmicks, not a chance!

Oh and I love the comment on spelling, give me a bloody break, you actually think I didn't know how to spell the word? Another obsessive moron, who never makes a mistake on their mobile device!
