First, let me say that my wife and I both LOVE our Kobos. Even after the price reductions on other e-readers, I have no buyer's remorse. I didn't "settle" for the Kobo because of the price...it had the feature set I wanted, didn't have the stuff I wanted NOT to have, and the price was decent. It feels better in my hands than any other e-reader I've tried, and that counts for a lot (the way the feel of a keyboard is so important).

The font issue was HUGE. It has been fixed.

The rest of this stuff is minor, to me. When reading forum messages on ANY issue on ANY device, you lose perspective and start thinking that it's the end of the world. I would prefer the sleeping/power off thing to work more the way some of the posters suggest, but as it is, it's nothing more than a minor annoyance.

Most of the time that I'm using my Kobo, I'm reading and loving it!

Other e-readers have their issues, too. Check out their forums.
