Pretty much true, although it doesn't look like the quality control Netronix brings to Kobo manufacturing is all that stellar either (lighting seems to be some kind of issue with every new device release). But, in fairness to Netronix in regards to the Nook, the Nook's issues seem to be more with software than with hardware and that wouldn't be Netronix's fault.
