The software I am referring to is the software on the Kobo that updates the Kobo's awareness of books that have been added.
Previously after adding books the Kobo would take a bit of time to incorporate the new books so you could access them through the interface. Now instead of running that bit of software it complains about not being registered. Between updates I had added books and right after the last upgrade it indicated that it was updating the files and I found the books still there.
I used to have a couple of junk email addresses but they became a hassle. Now when faced with silliness I wait a bit and if it does not get resolved I recommend people look elsewhere to satisfy their product needs.
If someone is going to give up use of their property they might as well get an (insert questionable product here). But one can be sure that if I have spent any time or money on such waste of space products then I won't be suggesting them. In this case I would suggest people just get an IPad if it came to that. A product I will not bother with.
Of course the solution does not have to come from the company that brought the product to market. If it does then it becomes a company and product I spend time convincing others to buy. After I got an n900, I purchased a second and convinced two others to buy one. As of now I am looking to companies other than N, M, or A.
The updated firmwares are an indication of wanting continued and improved faith in a product, it's brand and it's company.
On top of that if you have to register with Kobo to use your ereader and Kobo goes under them closing means these are just pricey paper weights it has happened to other products. How does that equal keeping your ebook files?
