Just realize that there are a lot of people who are generally happy with it and that's the beauty of a competitive market -- there are other options if Kobo doesn't currently meet your needs.
You forget that updates are forced with the KOBO. Thus, with regards to design CHANGES (like the new way epubs are rendered), I cannot accept the 'there are other options'-argument. I don't want to buy a new ereader because a forced update changes things on the KOBO in a way I don't like.

E.g. I'm one of those people who do mind wasted space on the top of every page and would never have bought a KOBO reader if it had displayed books like this when I was trying it out in the store.
