Hello,
I was set for purchasing a kobo glo (especially since the paperwhite won't be released in the uk for... ever?) but a few of the firmware/usability/production/customer support issues that have arisen on this forum are downright scary.

In general, are you happy with your kobo?

Is it worth the "risk" of buying one?

Since after purchasing we have 28 days to return it I'll probably buy it anyway to test it out, but it would be good to know how in the longterm it may pan out (ie. waiting for "improved" firmware/needing to contact support).

Thanks.
