Unbelievable. I would never have expected such partisan brand-loyalist behaviour.
Just kidding, of course I would expect this reaction. I have to ask though, do the pro-Kindle crowd exhibit similar levels of defensiveness about their preferred brand? For whatever reason my Kindle devices usually behave more in line with my expectations, so I tend to spend more time in Kobo forums looking for solutions. So it makes sense that I would witness more of the Kobo fanboyist type behaviour. Maybe Kobo being the 'underdog' plays a part as well.

There are things that would make the Kindle much better than it is. Instead of just the simplistic choices Amazon gives with the on screen formatting, just give us sliders that let the user control what we want. I (and a lot of others) want less margin and less line height. A lot want to be able to easily add fonts to the fonts menu. Some are OK with the Kindle as is, but for those that don't now about these sorts of things, would they be happy if they got them?
The reason we are saying Kobo is already better is because we have more options to what we can do now. We don't need them added in. The thing is, I've read a lot about Kindle users asking for more options and Amazon ignoring them.
