If that's so, murg, they're certainly not alone in that.
My previous reader was an iRiver, and they've got a shocking track record for ongoing development and support of existing models. iRiver products are effectively declared EoL as soon as they're released on the market.
Whereas, in the short time I've had my KT, there's been genuine ongoing development and improvement in the firmware from Kobo. (Even if they haven't yet included the one feature pretty much everyone seems to be asking for, the ability to divide a library into "shelves" or folders and browse on that basis.) Even if there's no more development for the KT beyond F/W 17, it's still a darned good reader that stands up well against its competition and (unlike the iRiver) one I don't regret buying. :-)
