This post really doesn't make much sense, you state that you bought 3 had to return one, and then you go on to talk about all the issues that the Kobo has.
Font Size - sure you can buy from Kobo and get books that work but if you state that your reader can use ePub files then you need to support files from other locations.
Open Source - You state that we should be thankful for them letting us use products like Calibre. Sorry but that had nothing to with something Kobo did, Calibre can convert to all sorts of formats so we would just change our output format. And since we have the font size problems with file created with Calibre its not like it really works anyways.
Price Point - the PRS-300 from Sony can be purchased for the exact same price. Atleast if you look for sales. If you want to get picky it does have a smaller screen and a few less features but it also doesn't have all the issues the Kobo does.
With all that said, I am fairly happy with my Kobo. But that this point I don't think I would recommend it, because currently I think it has some major flaws and although I believe Kobo can fix the problems we really don't know when things will be fix or how effective the fixes will be.
