I neither speak German, or have any German books or books about Germany in my Library. The Kobo team must be having a grand old time rolling around in all that ad-revenue money....

Yeah....I'm NOT HAPPY about this 'addition' either. Also, I think that my screen sensitivity has been dumbed down. I now need many taps to get reaction as well as multiple swipes for action.
Not happy with this 'enhanced' software update. Soon, I think I might just go back to purchasing p-books and the benefits thereof. I'm just not so enamoured by this e-reading as I was a few months back....
I don't 'do' Facebook, and this update seems to even more entrench 'in your face' Facebook and the social let's read and have a group hug, thing.
Kobo books are climbing continuously in price, and I see that I can now get HARD COVER for equal cost to an e-book file, and in some instances...BELOW the cost of downloading an e-book!!!!
Frankly, this was not what I was anticipating about three months ago, when I got into buying an e-reader. Not at all. I thought it would be a less expensive form of reading recreation. It is not turning out that way, as each month goes by. The cost of e-reading is moving like an next-floor escalator! Becoming disillusioned.
