I think it is helpful when people say negative things about a brand of device for the person also to disclose it when they have no personal experience with them. That being said, I have always thought that it was pretty great that Kobo has NOT obfuscated or encrypted their firmware thus allowing hacking.

Yesterday I took a call at work from someone who was angry that our website (which I maintain) did not have anything about October programs on it. When we spoke for a bit, she told me that she had looked at it about a month or so ago, and when she did not see what she was after, she decided not to "waste her time looking at that useless website."

The Internet has a long memory. I always look at the date a comment or review was written before deciding whether it is likely to be valid. And of course, I try to figure out how likely the source is to be accurate and objective, though that is not always easy to do.
