I posted this question on the Get Satisfaction site, but this is really bugging me and I'm not sure I can wait.

This evening I attempted to log into my Kobobook account on my laptop. I was told the e-mail or password wasn't valid. (I have no idea why that is.) I had the password reset. I logged in on the laptop. I was going to make a purchase using the 30% discount, only to find that the book I wanted wasn't eligible, so I did not complete the purchase.

Later, on the Vox, I went to the Store and made a purchase.

Why is it that changing the password on my laptop had no effect on the Vox? I would expect the Vox to ask me for the new password, but it didn't.

This bothers me because if the Vox were to ever be lost or stolen, I would want to cut off the finder's access to my Kobo account. I don't think I should have to deactivate my account on a computer. I would lose all my books then, wouldn't I, and that doesn't seem fair either. It should be enough to merely change my password so at least if someone found my Vox, they wouldn't be able to continue to make purchases on my credit card. Or start deleting books I had paid for or other nasty stuff like that...

Can anyone explain this?

I do have the Vox set to auto sync.
