I'm curious as to why none of the other beta testers don't speak up? Taming seems to be the only one willing to stand up for being a beta tester and take the heat we are throwing off.

OK, I'll bite. Maybe it's because I don't feel like getting slammed for things I have no control over or accused of defending Kobo because I get free books or product or paid for doing so (we don't). I help out as part of the beta group because we get the opportunity to have input on the way the Kobo works and while they don't always do what *I* would like with it, I know they listen to everything we say and take it seriously. As much as we're a beta group and let them know of any issues we find, we're an external group and also a bit of focus group that they can see how people like or don't like things. But I'm not a Kobo employee and I don't know anything about their processes beyond the tiny little part I'm involved in, so I can't answer for why things sometimes go wrong.
I'm not happy when people have problems and I know lots of the beta group are very active on here helping out where they can. I'd rather do that than get riled up over people complaining about things I have no control over.
