I really like my new Touch (although suffering the same problems as others like slow performance, and the need for double touches).

What I am not happy about is:

1. I have unsubscribed from Kobo's almost daily email spam THREE times and it still continues to come! I even mark it as spam in gmail now, but so far it doesn't go into the spam folder

I wanted a life with my Touch, not a lifetime relationship with Kobo Marketing!

2. I have purchased a book from Kobobooks which I understand is a Canadian company, but was charged GST. It didn't say whether it was Oz or Canadian GST, but for the life of me I don't understand why I should pay it. If I shop in China or elsewhere I don't pay local taxes. Does anyone have an explanation?
