At least it's not just me then! It's somewhat frustrating to say the least.
Along with the seemingly pointless linking of my Kobo account to Facebook, I have just got myself ever so slightly annoyed with the Kobo website and deactivated my account.
I'll probably go back in a few days and re-register as I'll have forgotten just how annoyed I was 5 minutes ago when trying to add a Glo HD to my basket.
