I don't think either of these bugs are root cause bugs (i.e. that each is a specific stand alone bug). I suspect that the Kobo has got itself into some bad state in one of its processes and that is causing a few problems.

I'm hoping that when the firmware update is eventually released (remember they said it had been delayed to address 'other issues'), it will be a little more resilient.

I'll then do a factory reset, reload everything, and hope all is well.

And yes, Kobo can be used out of the box, I know a lot of people who use them in that way.
Indeed, I am using mine quite happily.

I just asked about a couple of questions in case they were particular, known, problems with a work around.

It was immediately apparent that they were not and no one really had a clue.

My big mistake was to dare to call the software 'very buggy' - purely a reflection of my experience of it - which upset a couple of fanbois, who decided that they had to try and convince (themselves?) that it was actually all my fault.

Protestations that I had managed to use Kindles for many years without problem only stirred the flames.

A pity as people were most helpful when I initially got the device and had to be steered towards kepubs and their loading, for which I was most grateful.
