Thanks for letting us know.

The only other thing the Kindle has going for it is the ability to e-mail documents to your eReader. I'd love it if I could get a <myname>@kobo.com to e-mail ePubs to my device.

I really really want this too!

You can, but a Kobo rep has already replied to this somewhere in this thread.

This is the difference between sideloaded and kepub (bought from Kobo) books. Sideloaded will always give you pages per total book pages; Kobo kepubs will always give you pages per chapter. I don't like the latter either, hoping they'll implement an option to choose from either.

When I charge it next I'll pay more attention.

Ooooh we get battery percentages now? Yay! I wonder if we'll get a low battery warning now as well, instead of just telling you mid-read that "oops, you have to plug in, I don't care if you're on the train and can't charge, but you just can't read the next page!"
