The device freezes instead of shutting down. This means that I have to either keep using it to prevent it from shutting down after it enters sleep mode or constantly carry around a paper clip to reset it. Annoying. Why do we have to have an SD card mailed to us? Every other vendor (Pocketbook, Bookeen, Astak, Interread, etc.) that uses the EB-600 hardware is able to distribute firmware upgrades in a neat binary which can be transfered to an SD card and then used to upgrade the device. Why can't Kobo do this? The upgrade process itself was incredibly byzantine compared to upgrading my Kindle or my Pocketbook 360. I like the device: it appears to be the best made EB600 model I've come across and balances nicely in the hand. I am having serious remorse at having upgraded the thing instead of simply using calibre to modify my epubs to improve the font size. I could have probably figured out how to get the synch with the desktop client working and I would have the cool book-cover shutdown display. Oh wells. I may just have to go back to my trusty Pocketbook 360.
