Thanks!

My opinion, as a user, for what it's worth:

Not a fan, I honestly think all the "push to buy" links are counterintuitive, they make me *never* want to buy from Kobo. Really, and I'm not a fanatic about my ereader, it's off putting to have some much commercialization built into the software.

I've bought your reader, I know where you are if I want to buy books, back off. It's intrusive - I find it intrusive to have a "Discover" link next to my "Library" link, and 2 of the 3 links at the bottom aimed at cajoling me to spend money. I know Kobo is in the business of selling books, but I'd prefer to seek out the opportunity, rather than have it shoved in my face every time I turned on my reader. It's just useless clutter to me.

For my preference, it would be better to have a "Library","ShortList" (or "Shelves") and "Reading Life" set of links at the top, and a "Store" link underneath the covers. Under that "Store" link put "Wishlist" and "Discover".
