Ah well, something like that gets under my skin for awhile, then 6 months later I forget that kobo even ever called them shelves. My memory is just that sh***y.  |
Don't give them ideas about the kobocubbies, LOL! I guess for me, I don't care how they differentiate themselves with language (or not), in the long run, all I really care about is that they make it really pleasant to read books.
I'd love Kobo like crazy if they made their annotating more efficient like my Sony T1, for instance. Meanwhile, I keep a Kobo to read on and a Sony to proofread on. Sony for books with images because of pinch/zoom as well as landscape mode.
I do think Kobo is differentiating themselves, lots of choices on reader size, more font choices, etc. But I'd like to see more.
Oh well, one thing we know for sure with Kobo, change is always just a firmware update away, whether we like it or not!
