Perfect analogy.
Having slept over it, I partly regret my harsh tone in the statements above.
So far, I've been a fan of Kobo and even bought 2 touch readers: One for side loaded content, one for the original Kobo content.
And I understand, lots of buyers wouldn't bother at all.
But to me, eBooks are kind of collector's items, similar to hardcover books.
I don't just read them. I enjoy them. And I keep them, even after having read them.
Sometimes I even scroll through my libraries in thumbnail mode and check, what titles I've read in the last 10 months or so.
Similar to my bookshelf: Some readers probably just through their books an a bag and dispose of them after having read them. I treat my paper books very carefully, they all look like being new

Hi mgmueller, I also work at Kobo and am going to try to see if anything can be done about the images. What's the exact title of the collection you purchased? I think I've found 5 Umberto Eco titles with broken covers.
edit: and for the record, I agree with your thoughts on browsing through your shelves and treating paper books carefully :0)
