Certainly, it's some high level criticism. Kobo readers are great after all, or we wouldn't be using them.

But I don't think it's a non-issue. It's a first impression thing and first impressions are important. You buy your first Kobo, you copy your book collection on it, and you can't read. If it's your first Kobo device (like, coming from Kindle) you don't know it will do this and once it starts it's too late.

And that's exactly what seems to have happened to the original poster of this thread ("just got my kobo aura h2o today -- 8500 books -- left for about 7 hours -- 31% done"). It's ridiculous how slow it is.

Often it's the little details that make a great user experience and this is one area where the Kobo could use some improvement.
