GAAAH. The whole point of wanting a reader that can deal with HTML and RTF is to be able to edit them on the fly. (Maybe that's not why everyone wants them, but it's very much why I want them.) I use my ereader to read rough drafts of various documents; I want to be able to update them with changes or new formatting. I don't always have access to the original files; I suppose I can make more use of Dropbox, but it's a hassle to download, edit, connect, and sideload instead of just connecting the device and editing the files directly. (I wonder if it'd work if I renamed them, so they didn't clash with existing database listings?.)

I want to be able to edit ebooks on the device itself; if I were happy with ebooks on the device needing to be deleted/re-uploaded for changes, I'd have a Kindle.

I'll keep it in mind, but this definitely moves the Kobo into the "auxiliary reader; not for serious work" category.
