Being Opt-in to newsletter by default?

endrancer · 09-24-2015, 02:15 PM

Hi everyone,

I just recently purchased a kobo glo hd and didn't get the skipping the registration to work, however having several options to register an account I thought, well whatever I'll just complete the setup process.

Anyways, as far as everyone knows, during setup process, there's this checkbox which asks to opt-in to the newsletter. However I am 100% confident that I didn't agree to get newsletters from them based on this checkbox.

Unfortunatly just now today, I've already received a newsletter with recommendations on other books. So I promptly filed a small complaint with no reply so far.

So I am interested to know, if any other here has had this problem?

Sounds like that check box does nothing, like the pinch to adjust font size.

welcome to the forums! and the wonderful world of kobo. I wouldn't sweat it much. Just mark it as junk. Enjoy that hd.

I will, especially with much more internal space

it's not like i'll give it away just because of a newsletter, I already opt-out so i'll see if they'll send any more junk.
