If nobody demands, asks, asks polity, begs or whines for a Kobo Linux Client the Kobo folks will continue to say that there is no demand for a Linux.
The day a new firmware update or a new device breaks the bypass what will you do ?
(it's also not really easy for a non-technical user btw)
Don't forget Kobo is using a lot of Linux and busybox infrastructure in both the device and their server infrastructure. The decent thing would be some acknowledge of this and a least a how-to on the activation/registration on their website ?
As a new Kobo linux customer, you are stuck in the initial registration process unless you find this website and actually want to risk damaging a brand new 200 dollar device.
If you installed Linux on your parents computer because you don't want every holiday to be a windows fixing / reinstalling holiday, your partners will get stuck with a non-working paperweight after buying a Kobo device.
Until Kobo has some Linux support I will buy my 5 books a month elsewhere.
