I've just bought new Kobo Touch. After the first update - the "FEATURED" CRAP appeared on my Home Screen!

I decide to write the following to the Marketing Guys from Kobo - our user's ULTIMATUM:
1. I HATE somebody to "recommend" me what I have to buy! Period!
2. What I hate MORE is to display that CRAP on my home screen!
3. What I hate EVEN MORE is to pretend to do it for my own good, but with MY MONEY!
4. If some stupid, aggressive marketing junkie think that in such a way will FORCE ME TO BUY any piece of "Featured" CRAP - he's very badly mistaken!
5. DO NOT LOSE YOUR ONLY ADVANTAGE over the other eReaders - the absolute lack of aggressive marketing on eBooks!

You know why?
Because if we, yours (still loyal?) customer wanted the crap above - we'd buy iPad...
