I may be one of few that haven't seen this problem - ironic, because it wouldn't wind me up the same amount as it does some. I'd be happy with the text-only title, and a simple list instead of the covers on the carousel!

It is more than embarrassing - it is almost negligent. It suggests a certain disregard for their customers, and their future business. OK, it isn't a big thing - the KT is still fulfilling its major function of being an ebook reader - but it is the sort of thing that will turn people off the device in favour of a Nook or Kindle, or whatever.

Oh, yes, and that issue of not being able to choose when/whether to update is utter arrogance on the part of Kobo. It is my machine, and I want to choose what happens to it.
