[Alpha o]

I did register my Glo, but I've since deleted the Kobo Desktop and the wifi login from the computer. I only downloaded to the desktop, anyway.

I resented all the "new for you" and "recommended" emails - and all the other promotional junk that showed up on the desktop, too.

I read what I please. I mostly use independents if I can. I don't sync anything with anybody. I've sideloaded some from an Amazon account after running them through Calibre. I've seen some of interest reviewed by PBS.

Kobo seemed to have marketing problems with what I did buy. One book by a spam chaser, and 2 on the Curiosity Rover. Most of the newer books are "how to" make something - and those are usually not ebooks. I wish they were.

Since I was content enough with the way the first Nook wifi showed books, all the newer stuff doesn't interest me. If it hadn't finally died, I'd still be using it.

It looks like the Glo will never be updated. The only updates I want are hacks anyway and I don't feel like tackling them. (I don't want the main page, percent read, etc.)

I mostly read while eating and there is no trouble turning pages or keeping them flat in an ereader which is why I bought one.

It isn't the price of books, it's the usefulness. I bought the ebook "Astromical Wonders" even though I have the hard copy. The finder scope views were too good not to have on the tablet or phone.
