I had an issue that went to 'Tier 2' months ago and still have never heard from anyone at Tier 2. I think it's just a ploy to get people to shut up.
I'll keep my T1 going as long as possible - but when it dies I don't know what I'll do. I don't want a Kindle, and I don't trust Kobo to stand behind their products.
Double sigh.

That, a thousand times that. First FW, now the Sony store... I just feel my choices are shrinking ever since I switched to ebooks. I won't argue they were the best choices but they were mine, and I'm pissed off I'm losing them. Also, I can't seem to find Analog and Asimov's on Kobo, so after the F&SF mess, it seems I am screwed. Again.
On a side note, the Sony store was the only place where it was easy for someone without an American credit card to sign up to. I'm wondering if my account switching to Kobo is going to raise some red flags.
