But personaly, i like to think and to hope that yes there might be problematic devices/firmware issues but the overwhelming opinions suggest that it is a decent reader that covers so many needs effectively. I trully hope that i dont fall in the category of those who get dissapointed, as i really like the KA1 from everything i have seen so far.

What did you expect to find?
Little secret: no matter how many complaints you read on the internet about the Kobo, a kindle, a kitchenaid, keurig or a kitten, there will be 9 people that are happy with their K thing for every 1 complaint.
Happy people are too busy using their K thing to take the time to post.
So there is a 90% chance that you will have no problems.
Oh and of the 10% that do complain, about 50% of the problems can be traced back to user error.
Let's see, the screen is cracked, I didn't do anything but rest my elbow on it, drop it down a flight of stairs onto concrete, accidentally run over it with the car. Company should tell users the screens are very fragile.
Device caught on fire. I just changed out the battery for a stronger one and charged it under my pillow. The company should have warned us. (They had.)
Company should replace my device because it got a little wet and no longer works. (They had run it through a washing machine.)
Oh and most ereaders do not like hot bubble baths. Though the owner of that one knows exactly who is at fault. (The author of the book she was reading. )
I wish I had made those up but they are all true.
Anyway good luck and you should be fine.
