No, it's not "awful". And, you have to look at in the context of what's available. If your top priority is a 7.8" to 8" reader that's affordable, there are no other options and the firmware is good enough.

I personally have concluded that in the absence of anything new on the market, my next reader will have to be a Glowlight Plus for just that reason, even though I'd rather stay with Kobo because I direct download my purchases. You can't buy what's not out there.

Some nuance in your responses that acknowledged the issues would make them more useful.
