Agreed in principle, but Kobo seems to treat their user base as beta testers -- rolling updates with silly problems like built-in fonts misbehaving and broken PNGs.

Yeah. Haven't even had my Glo a year yet, but it feels like I've had three different Glos.
On one hand, it's great that Kobo actively supports their products. On the other, I'm tired of re-learning the UI every few months.
And while I like the device a lot, if it wasn't for trying to support an indie I wouldn't even buy kepubs. As it is, I strip/convert my Kobo purchases to epub and sideload everything, just to get books to look and act one consistent way.
Gripes aside, I've tried the Nook STG and Kindle PW and I'd buy another Glo over a free Nook or Kindle. Hopefully the break X to fix Y days are behind us.
