Kobo Aura One = Horror Show

Also, I use XP because I still require a computer that's useful. If nothing else, the windows explorer on everything after XP is worthless. Being able to have some folders use icons and others use thumbnails is important to me. I have hundred of folders. Grouping them in gigantic chunks like A-H is not only worthless, but it's an insult to every intelligent person. I guess there's always the option of having a mile long single file list and scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll. No thanks. And don't even get me started on Win 7, 8, 8.1 and 10's ability to only remember the size and location of 1 folder, that is, the last one open. I frequently have multiple folders open at once. I don't find having to constantly open, move and resize folders very productive. Am I a Luddite? Maybe, because I still think computers are tools, not toys. When the day comes that bright colors and round corners are more important to me, I'll gladly switch.

i completely agree i will always have a computer with XP on it.

I don't mind Windows Explorer in Windows 10.

And that computer will surly not be able to run everything you want to run. So it's a losing battle. Calibre is one good example of a program that you need the latest version but cannot run it.

And when the Kobo Aura has a new firmware, you'll have to run the newest Calibre.

So you're willing to give up firmware enhancements/features just to be able to run an obsolete Calibre with an obsolete and slow operating system.

point 1 i have a computer with XP on it i didn't say at any point that it was my only PC.
