Are Kobo going to be offering partial refunds for accepting advertising - to be in line with Amazon?

I wondered about the partial refunds, too!
If, going forward, Kobo is only going to sell devices with ads, so be it. Caveat emptor. But this was a retroactive bait-and-switch. They can't even claim this is an added "feature" since other features have been taken away. I would still prefer the old screen, but if you could dismiss the marketing tiles with a long press as you can with old screen tiles, and replace them with collection tiles, I'd shrug it off. Not as good a use of space, but I'd get along.
I'm not happy about losing OverDrive access; that was a convenience I valued.
