Sign up for account, click buy, enter payment details, download book, book doesn't download. Realise I don't have ADE installed, go to download ADE, find you need flash to install it (if there's a non flash installer I didn't notice it and was losing the will to live by this point), install flash, realise you need an adobe account, sign up for account, install ADE, authorise my computer, finally download ebooks. Remove flash plugin. What a pita.
Compare that to amazon, sign up at amazon, enter payment details, click buy. download book.
Only part that wasn't a pain was dropping it into calibre, freeing and syncing to the kindle  |
Yes but if you had done all that previously then all you would have done this time is login, click, buy, download. Kobo is worth signing up for and getting all those downloads sorted out. With all of their discount codes, I regularly get books more cheaply than I can find them on Amazon.
