Oh, I can totally see how it is so much better to release buggy official firmware.

And it doesn't seem like someone had the urge to copy Kobo's Facebook stuff yet - or did I miss something?
Most people I ever talked to about the Touch could very well go without all that Facebook stuff... so if anyone knew that a new Facebook thingy would come to the Kobo there will be something between a yawn and a
- but surely no "oh, let's add that faster to our device than Kobo can make it official for theirs" from any other company...

This mentality is also leading to the massive release every 3-4 months, rather than smaller releases fixing the bugs. So, any problems or bugs are taking months to get resolved, and when they are, you get a whole set of new problems and bugs.

And that's exactly the problem here. Kobo could do so much better if they'd try something different for a change (after so many failures in a row...)...
