If the complete package is indeed coming from eink itself (with the weakest link imho being the ir touchscreen) then kobo it seems are just adding bad plastics, poor software and poor customer service to the package.

In terms of triton I wouldn't think it would be that hard to add a light layer there too, although I am not sure if the added colour layer which is the difference from the greyscale version, makes for one layer too many when factoring in the layer for the light too. Surely a more precise execution must be required (thinner light layer perhaps, better lamination of the various layers) so the piling up of layers doesn't end up hurting the image quality.
Hmm... it might be interesting to see what all is included with the SDK they
provided Kobo? Not been to the eInk site in awhile, is there one for a combined
package such as Kobo received?

Luck;
Ken
