What amazes me is that an (admittedly very clever)
guy with a hex-editor can fix long-standing bugs and add basic functionality that should've been in the FW from the start. That indicates that Kobo really don't care about listening to feedback from their customers. Neither do Sony, of course, but their FW is very solid as-is. I understand that Kobo are no longer present (at least not visibly) on these forums either.
That, along with the fact that they seem hell-bent on foisting their social gamification of reading on customers with no vendor-provided opt-out, makes me a bit wary of comitting to one of their devices. That said, I'll probably buy the new Aura anyway, as the HW seems very nice
