Well, actually, I think Kobo cares about them, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem as if Rakuten really does...

I've had that feeling too.
I think that's why a B&N/Kobo marriage made sense to so many people. B&N could have pushed sales of the devices in North America and Kobo would do a better job behind the scenes job of maintaining the devices and selling ebooks than B&N did. At least that's the theory.
It would have been a better fit than Walmart/Kobo. Though Walmart could have been a great partner, if they were interested in being a great partner. From the outside looking in, you can see that they just kinda dumped ebooks on a shelf like any other product with no fanfare or care.
