Used to. Past tense.
(There were some horror stories.)

Kobo's business is supposed to be ebooks, with ereaders and apps driving customers to their store.

They actually do okay in ereaders according to some reports--13% vs 3% Nook. But that is just ereaders, not books. Books, though, is much lower: low single digits at the last open report. That's where local partners are supposed to help.
