Hi filmo. Fully agree. I needed to spend a huge amount of time, and start from scratch, to find which ebook was causing the problem

If, as stated here the Kobo (does something in the background) to check out files, and then finds one and all others are not read-in, why can it not have an error report which shows what has happened.

Given the huge issues with the Kobo and epubs, and having to take out style sheet information for it to be able to change font sizes, I can not say I would believe Kobo could come up with the goods.

Sadly Far Eastern producers do believe in quality and product testing. I am still amazed that Kobo has issues today, for which one can look at threads started in October 2010 - two years ago!!! I say sadly as the basic reading is great, (but I am new to ebooks), frustrated by long hangs when trying to change fonts. This was the reason I got into trouble with Epubs, in trying to make them work on the Kobo; I suppose I will need to learn by trial and error what it is about certain epubs that cause them not to work on Kobo.

AS a final point - I went for Kobo as I did not want to be tied to any particular supplier of books (eg Kindle). JUst a same the quality is so poor.
