Incidentally, here is a tiny example of the quality control issues I am talking about when using the Sony software (which may or may not be Kobo's fault). It is just kind of funny in that it just shows how lax their programming standards are:
When you click the "download all" button you get the following message:
"Please click Yes if you wish to download all yet to be downloaded contents. Otherwise, click NO and make selections before click the Download All icon button."
Beyond the obvious grammatical errors, the best part is yet to come:
The buttons are labeled "Ok" and "Cancel".
Now this is the Sony software (I don't know who is responsible for maintaining it now that Kobo is the back end, but I suspect it is still Sony) and it isn't a real problem per-se. It is a tiny tiny issue. And it really isn't germane to my issues with Kobo. But it is a window into the level of effort that has been put into this particular bit of software and causes me to chuckle (but in a sort of maniacal, I-can't-believe-this-is-serious kind of way). After all the actual problems I have had with this reader app, this one was kind of like the icing on the cake and made me laugh. I thought I would pass it on.
