I dont have a Touch, only the old wifi and thank god there hasn't been a firmware update for that. Recently there has been an Android app update which has dramatically increased the space taken by recommendations, to the point where on the tablet it shows recommendations, best sellers etc. Do they want me to easily find and read my ebooks or spend my days browsing their recommendations?
Something I am really really shaking my head about is Kobo have the Vox, yet they have spent, and appear to spend, far more resources on the iPad reading app. Why have they even bothered with the Vox when they could have just let people buy a generic android tablet or iPad. Amazon released the Fire and provided more than just the Kindle app on a cut down version of Android. Why didn't Kobo do the same?
IMHO all these recommendations and social reading isn't improving the reading experience, it is distracting people and removing them from what could be a great reading experience.
