I'm in Texas. Keep getting times out and crashes while trying to browse Kobo's ebooks.

Intermittent problems for maybe 2-3 days but basically constantly down at the moment, for me at least.

Yes, earlier this morning it was acting like under a DOS. Now seems to be down.

I posted it in the other thread, but I should have posted here:

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. We are currently having a system maintenance right now to make your Kobo experience much better. This will run for a few hours and a maximum of 3 hours. We appreciate your patience during this process
EDIT: I wish they post some notice beforehand when they have scheduled maintenance work

Kobo is running, but it's running slow.

I went there to check out the website and saw they had a Louis L'Amour book on sale for $2 (one I hadn't read), so I bought it, downloaded the acsm file, opened it in Calibre and found it had spaces between the paragraphs, so I converted the font and removed those spaces. Then loaded it on my PocketBook. All in about three minutes.

Makes me extremely thankful for Calibre.

Anyhow it looks like Kobo's site is up — a little slow getting to my account, but working.

It seems ok at the moment but it's had ok moments in the last few days mixed with total brokenness, so we shall see.

Kobo website and the app has always run slowly for me in Australia. It's interesting to note that the local sources for Kobo books, Booktopia and Angus & Robertson are much faster to load and process both my searches and my orders.
The only reason to use the website is because I have accumulated points and are part of the Kobo Plus program, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
