People didn’t have issues with their Sony PRS-500s and yet it is easy to point out that they present a subpar experience in comparison to what is possible these days. The fact that Kobo is collaterally introducing new bugs and other quibs with every firmware release is just subpar, period. Of course if I just read a couple of novels that I purchase from Kobo, I have less problems than if I use calibre in conjunction with my Kobo and have to restart the device after adding new books because my Kobo only registered half of them on first try (and database is likely to corrupt if I just ignore the discrepancy between files on the device and in the database, just a random bug in 3.13.1)...
I really don’t care if most people are generally satisfied with their Kobos, they are just bad devices, starting with subpar eink drivers (largely responsible for the sluggish behavior) all the way up to the random quibs like random unregistered highlights...

Here is where I have to disagree. I use Calibre to load books onto my H2O with no problem. Are the books you load straight from the publisher? One of the problems (and the same thing happens on Kindles) is that people side load books that are not from the publisher or have been modified and/or converted. They don't check for structural errors. The parser is not going to be able to handle all errors and I do know that some people download eBooks from the net and the condition can be very poor. Even an RTF conversion can contain errors. So before you send unknown sourced eBooks to your Reader, check for errors first.
The speed of page turning with ePub has been improved since 3.15.0. Also so has the speed of highlighting.
