There may be workarounds, third party patches and/or ways to adapt ebooks to be used with a KOBO device that circumvent some of the major issues. But I for one expect a single purpose device like an ereader to be able to cope with the most common (fairly standardized and simple) use cases and the software (ebooks) encountered in real world scenarios without requiring the user to mess around with either firmware or ebooks.

It's a pity since the hardware is really nice ....
I have to say your right on the mark here. 100 percent to be exact. A single purpose device should be able to handle things without any third party hacks.
