On the subject of pondering Kobo's short-term future, I do wonder what kind of effect book subscription services will have on them if they don't come up with any kind of unlimited offering like Kindle Unlimited, Oyster or Scribd. I have already been diverting some of my book-buying dollars each month to a Scribd subscription at the expense of purchasing books from Kobo. It will be interesting to see if Kobo develop an unlimited offering or not and whether it turns out to be a good decision either way.
