One thing is that, as e-readers are specialised (i.e one trick ponies) devices, it is unlikely they will satisfy all users.

What is a big deal for some people (for example, with you dictionaries) is actually a non-issue for others (like me)

So in essence, Kobo (and any device manufacturer) will always aim to please 80% of the needs of 80% of the users...

There are some things I would like, but I have to be honest after coming from a 7th Gen Kindle I won't swap my Glo for anything. I far prefer it.

The notes thing is probably more Sony's fault than Kobo. You can't really blame one firm for not wanting to mess too much for another. I can't imagine you'd get much response from Amazon if you asked them to make it easier to transition from a Kindle to something else. And I can't imagine Kobo want to get too involved with note import and export because it would make people more likely to swap around ;-)


Its a fact of business life that firms will want to make you stay with them.
