Yeah, you gotta wonder why they would launch it into another market as big as Australia when they haven't worked out the bugs yet. It makes me think that an upgrade is imminent cuz why would they subject another group of customers to the same headaches we've had to experience. It's also interesting to note that in all the news items on the internet heralding the Australian launch (and the American one, for that matter), only a fraction mention that there are any problems with it at all. If more of the news reporters had stopped to look up this forum, Kobo could have been in for quite the negative publicity.
Having said that, it's still a nifty little device.
