But they are clearly now marketing ebook sales more aggresively.
When I buy a book from Kobo, I downloaded via ADE, load it into Calibre to remove the DRM (if there is any), make any fixes/edits I want, and then side load to my H2O. It's not that I don't buy from Kobo, I just don't turn on the WiFi to get my books. Even if I had a Kindle, WiFi would remain off.
