Device: kobo original, WiFI, Touch, Glo, and Aura
Ahhhh, grasshopper, but I remember double taps that drove me bananas, sd cards that never did work on some devices, syncs that never sunk, WiFi problems out the wazoo, top margins that were so tight that people could not read the top line and you could just forget about choosng a word for dictionary look-up. And slooooooooooow, OMG.

I am not saying all of these things were in 1.9.17, and I am not minimizing today's crop of bugs, but for those of us who started with the Kobo-0, back in the spring of 2010, the changes have been amazing.

This Kobo journey is just different from the buy a device and see it unchanged pretty much forever, then wait for a new device for new functionality kind of thing. It's not for everyone, for sure, but I kinda sorta like it (despite it driving me nuts from time to time).
