And that's absolutely fine, when it happens at the user's choice and their pace. What issybird and others are trying to stress, I think, is that going down the rabbit hole of patches and mods is OPTIONAL, that there is nothing substandard or unsatisfying about the OOBE for any Kobo ereader. There does seem to have sprung up a mythos that Kindles have the edge over Kobos in terms of ease of use, that the first thing one must do when using a Kobo is patch it, mod it, install endless tweaks, etc. As Gershwin so eloquently reminded us, it ain't necessarily so. Turn it on, login, buy a book, read. THEN, when and if you want to, play around with all the cool customisation options. If not, one has the option of being a true individualist and defying the herd by daring to use one's Kobo ereader simply as, a reader
