i suggest that some may find them helpful obviously you don't along with other die hard Kobo can't do anything wrong fanatics.

You really need to read more carefully, and quit putting words into people's mouths. I never said your standards are lower than mine. I said when you bought a Kobo Aura and *were satisfied*, your standards were lower than mine. *I did not buy it because it did not meet my standards." That is NOT a subjective difference in standards. You bought it, were satisfied, I was not satisfied, did not buy it. In that situation, I had *objectively* higher standards than you.
In that case it is clear as night and day, and it also shows that I am far from being the die hard fanatic you think. Kobo did not make a product worthy of *my* hard earned money, in that case.
I have no issue with problems being pointed out, and I am just as annoyed as (I assume) you are when other people belittle someone who has a complaint, and categorise it as "not important".
And before I spend money, I want to be aware of any potential flaw, ...personally I read many many sources (and waste more time than it would take to earn the money!) before spending it. But I don't need to be beaten over the head, or scoffed at for contemplating a product that you wouldn't contemplate.
I really should know better than to engage, but there is so much animosity between you and some of the very regular posters, I thought a bit of calm discussion with someone else might make you realise that your never-ending comments aren't just annoying them, but others as well. But I am now just lumped together in your mind with others who you disagree with, and who you *believe* can't see flaws in front of their eyes. Most of us can.
You often say you are trying to be "helpful" yet dismiss everything say, davidfor, has to say. Yet he is *actually* helpful. I don't always agree with him, yet I can say that without a doubt he is an asset to this forum, and is continually doing things to prove this and be helpful to many people with problems over the years. Would anyone stand up and defend your "helpfulness" the same way that his "helpfulness" would undoubtedly be defended by thousands of people he has genuinely helped over the years?
If you want to be helpful, take note of what you've said to whom and don't repeat the same things in multiple threads to the same person. That would be helpful.
