Ok you guys, I'm really upset right now. I've been following the threads on kobo, I knew what I was getting into, what the flaws were, etc etc. To be honest, it didn't really bother me all that much that the fonts were a little messed up or whatnot. I assumed a fix would be coming soon.
So, I got my first reader ever yesterday evening. I really liked the design, the portability, the fact that it already had 100 books on it (seems like I'm in the minority here haha but I'm actually into classics and I haven't read the majority of them
) .... Anyways, I uploaded a book that I'd already bought and couldn't wait to try out my brand new device. I read in bed for maybe an hour before falling asleep.
This afternoon, I decided I might as well add 2-3 books from the public domain to my reader, just to see what pdfs would look like on the kobo. Well, I never got to experience that, because as I opened up the books menu, the blue light just turned itself off and the screen froze.
I tried everything to revive it, but even the reset button won't work!
I seriously thought I would at least be able to finish ONE book before I'd encounter problems... Guess I was wrong. I mean, I haven't even used the thing for a whole day! I've opened the box less than 16 hours ago!
I'm definitely returning this baby this week
Ahhh sorry, just needed to vent, this was my belated birthday present from my parents and they were really happy to have found something that I liked.
Would you guys suggest exchanging my kobo for another one? I feel like no other device fits my needs at this price point (and living in a mid-size town in Canada, there isn't much of a selection to choose from), but I don't want to run the risk of getting another lemon
Has anyone here gotten more than one faulty kobo?
Also, sorry if my message isn't super clear, English isn't my first language
