Because instead of "Kobo is not for you", they should be saying - thank you to all those who paid premium for their readers, when there are plenty to choose from.

Hmmm... I've now owned more ereaders and ereader applications on computers, phones and tablets than I care to remember -- a triumph of optimism over experience. Many were rapidly orphaned and never even came close to living up to the promises made when I bought them. Language support was at best poor. One which supported multiple languages only did so in the form of pdf files with embedded fonts. Not very fond memories of how it could mangle a pdf file. Much like looking at a Calibre converted pdf where each line becomes a paragraph. Often a line that was too long for the display would disappear off the edge of the screen. Another displayed epubs in a very interesting fashion though it would have made some happy. No margins, no spaces between lines or paragraphs, graphics that were all displayed as thumbnail size. One that displayed Microsoft's .lit format ebooks. Unless they were DRMed in which case it would either not display anything or reset itself.
