Glad to hear they seldom need corporate approval to modify the device. I hope they never need that approval. After a purchase is made, I think a consumer have the right to use the device for his own purposes not intended by the seller as long as he/she is not selling modified hardware. Kobo wants people to buy their ebooks but also somehow keep their device open - not quite though. After all, books are commodities. Kobo interface and emails with promotions, recommendations, syncing your "reading stats" with Kobo website every time you download something, the increasing social media connections, are just as aggressive as most other companies. I don't see why anyone would want their reading life framed by the corporate world or anyone other than themselves.
I really appreciate the efforts developers/enthusiasts put here in their spare time. You are the noble revolutionaries, to me at least. Thank you for helping set the reader free.
