Yes, no fun. I got fed up with it (selling on ebay or doing repairs). The packing, cost, getting broken in transit...
"It's smashed!"
-- "Couldn't be."
"Oh, your double packed box was fantastic, but the guy threw it off the back of the truck. I'm suing them!"
The customer/client would have to buy the Kobo direct. Or Kobo ship direct. Anything else can be a nightmare.
Baffles me actually people wanting to publish ebooks and only relying on a desktop viewer (and having it full screen instead of an ebook sized window). I think the minimum is one Kobo, one real Kindle (not a Fire or App) and an Android phone with as small a screen as possible, with 3rd party epub app, Kindle app, Kobo App and Google Playbooks app as minimum. Add iPhone, tablets (android & iPad) and other ereaders as desired or budget / sales allow.
Still a lot of new laptops or desktop monitors that are about 1366 x 768 and thus rubbish to preview PDFs for POD.
