Possibly. Though we have to remind ourselves that the posters here are a very small portion of Kobo users. Most of the users I've talked with have been very happy with their purchases.
Kobo's management has to look to their future and that future is going to be epub3. Just too many potential customers who require some of the epub3 features to make their reading experiences pleasant. Amazon does have an advantage here since they control their ebook format and DRM and can make changes without consulting with anyone else while Kobo works with open standards which are notoriously slow to develop -- no one has ever accused a committee of being speedy.
