Regarding the affiliate, isn't that supposed to give a small percentage of every ebook sale made from the device to said affiliate? Maybe I misunderstood something here.
Anyway, I would glad to keep FNAC as affiliate if there was a way to display the book cover when the device is in sleep mode (or the smiling Kobo dude). But the FNAC logo? No, thank you.

Edit: I don't know if that's related to the firmware update, but now the Pocket articles have very wide margins that can't be changed. They are wider than before for sure. I don't really like it
