I've owned many Kobos (and Sony, Pocketbook) not one of them had any of the above problems.

I just read a short chunk of the quote (the part right behind advising against Kobos which dealt with Kobo support). I will say this, however, without the patches, page margin rendering is pretty anemic in Kobos. At least it is in the older devices I use. I don't get those issues in Kindles, Sonys, Nooks or my Tolino. The margin patches make a huge difference, however, and Kobos are easy to patch.
I don't know what he's talking with the "native OS" part — Kobos use Linux, I believe. And the only time Kobo books have lost chunks of text is when I converted KePubs into ePubs and sent them to my Sonys. My work-around was to convert KePub to ePub, then convert it to AZW3, then back to ePub. Worked well.
