I purchased the Kobo as soon as it became available at the Toronto Chapters. I am very pleased with it, and have enjoyed learning about ebooks in general. It reminds me of the time (many years ago) that I first got an MP3 player and had to figure out all those tags and stuff. Fun!
But a key reason for my purchase was the newspaper subscriptions. I am using Calibre, it's been a real life-saver. And free besides. But I don't expect most average users to use a product like Calibre. It seems weird that there is no resetting of customer expectations on the newspaper subscription timeline, nor even an email to those of us (like jimr and myself) who asked for email notification.
So that's disheartening. I'll keep using it - I'm reading more books now! - but I'll be happy when the teething problems are done!
