Instead, it just shows that Kobo doesn't think Mac users are a significant factor in their business--see their remark about Windows being their preferred platform. I certainly won't be buying another device from Kobo given this attitude.
But, it's OK for Apple to screw with well accepted standards so that existing devices stop working? It is Apple, not Kobo that has stopped your device from working. Kobo will probably release an update to fix this. That is assuming that Apple haven't screwed with things to much to make it practical for them. Luckily, when Kobo do fix this, they probably update older devices, as well as those they are still selling. Of course, if Apple have broken support for current devices, what has happened for older devices and those that have no active support such as the Sony's?

And it IS the users responsibility to decide what updates to take. YOU decide whether to use particular software or hardware and have to decide which of these functions is most important to you. There are lots of people out there still running Windows XP or older because updated version didn't support hardware that they considered important to them.
