Am I waiting for the next firmware update? Yes. Am I getting anxious over the wait? No. I've seen the results of too many rush jobs over the years.
As for my personal experience with my KA1? I'm pretty happy with it as a reading device. Even with the auto-sync disable, the battery life could be better but then we're moving more pixels with less battery so hardly an unexpected result.

the KA1 should work 100% perfectly out of the box for everyone i'm sure we can all agree on that, the FACT that it doesn't implies a serious lack of quality control on Kobos part.
wisely for me i didn't buy a KA1 but if i did and it had the problems that a lot are having on this forum i would have sent it straight back for a replacement, if the replacement was also not to my satisfaction i would have got a refund as i have no need for an expensive piece of junk.
and may i add all Ereaders should work 100% perfectly out of the box without needing any tweaking or patching.
best wishes koboy
