I've had my Kobo for over a week now and I'm basically pleased with it, but I have to say I don't like the Kobo web site very much. The search function is totally inadequate. You can't search specifically by author, title, subject, ISBN, etc., like you can on most bookdealers' web sites, such as Chapters/Indigo for example. And if you browse by category, unless you drill down far enough it only seems to return a maximum of 500 titles. And some books seem to have been put in the wrong category altogether. So searching for something, or just browsing, is somewhat painful.

How do others feel about the web site?
