A truly great company, would admit that they are having battery issues, giving an appropriate reason as to why its happening

alas we can dream
I don't believe there is a single corporate entity in existence today that I would file under your
truly great category. Maybe I'm just jaded...
Just out of curiosity, what are a couple companies you would call truly great?
EDIT:
I guess it depends on how you look at this question. Are we talking about the whole package? Kobo the eReader, the PC desktop software, customer support, their online store, and everything else as a whole?
The only point you made that is related to the device itself is the content locked message caused by apostrophe's in file names. Which to me isn't a huge deal if you only consider that problem, not the fact that Kobo have not acknowledged it.
I explained my thoughts on the battery life issue in this post:

which I think is more of an issue with "false advertising" if you want to call it that, rather then a problem with the device itself.
I agree that the desktop app is a hunk of crap and the sync bug boggles my mind too. But I'll never ever use the desktop app unless they push firmware updates through it. Any books I buy will have DRM removed and added to Calibre. And again, this isn't really a problem with the device itself.
I guess I'm used to kludge solutions and not relying on 'official' means to get usefulness out of my hardware...
