Has that dealt with the problem?

I agree, for several reasons, not least because Kobo are going to look quite poor in comparison with other readers. If I heard that other manufacturers e-Ink readers will do a month, but a Kobo will do less than a week, I would be strongly pushed away from Kobo. Which raises another point - has anyone heard if other brands have the same problem with things like pockets interfering with processes? I will do a bit of digging around myself, but it might save time if anyone has any information.
