Having followed this thread, and the Kobo forum in general, I'm starting to reconsider whether I really want a Kobo Touch (I want a back-up reader for my Sony).
Bugs are annoying but a forum filled with complaints about them won't stop me from considering a device. I work in computer tech support. I know that 98-99% of customers have no problems with their device and that's why they stay silent. They're not going to come here and post ecstatically about how they are thrilled that their new eReader works as advertised. The population posting here is not representative of the entire Kobo-using population, and to think that the user experiences posted here are typical is a mistake.
But when I see complaints that a device is lacking in features, that makes me sit up and take notice. Particularly features that existed on the previous generation the company released. I've seen Kobo owners post here and wish for the ability to have multiple bookmarks, or an in-book search function. Unless I've misunderstood, the options to sort and organize the library are very limited, as is the ability to have multiple books open at the same time.
And not having any of those very basic features makes me pause, and start looking at other brands for a back-up reader.
