I have none of these problems with my Kobo. It's not a "horrid device".
The user interface is actually quite nice, as is the software.
There are things that could be better (like missing shelves, translation dictionaries need an update), but the actual reading experience is very nice. I rarely have a dead tap or double page turn, maybe 1 or 2 in 100 page turns (and that can always happen with touch screens).
What I like best is that you can use tapping to browse, select three different "tap area settings", change the font, font size, margins and line spacing. You can add your own fonts as well.
And hopefully in a new update there will be shelves and maybe some of the other wishes (like more tap areas) and bug fixes as well for those that experience them (I'm lucky not to have these problems, not saying there aren't any).
Best would be if you could look at the devices your most instereted in "in person". I did that and decided to get the Kobo - and haven't regretted it.
I use the plugin as well, which makes my Kobo even better.
