1) 64-bit Linux version would have saved a lot of faff when setting up my kobo touch.
2) At least with the Touch and potentially with the other models (inputting text might be too tricky to be worth the bother on the wifi etc.), it should be possible to set up and register the device entirely over wifi.
3) I can understand that windows and OS X might come first in terms of numbers of users, but there is some irony/absurdity in a being unable to configure a linux device using linux.
4) I'm not a big fan of Java, but targetting multiple operating systems, fast/high performance less important? This is what Java is for.
5) If I want to add books to my account from kobo, I can use the website. If I want to read a book, I'm not going to use my computer when I have an ereader. Since the only thing most people want to do with kobo-desktop is register their device/get it to stop telling them it hasn't been set up, why not remove the bloat and create a simple setup utility instead. Less work to be done, hence more likely to actually happen.
Ok, I think that's enough complaining for now
