No, they are not. Take a deep breath and chill out. This forum full of helpful volunteers is right in front of you - read a few threads and learn something. It's really not complicated at all, but it does take someone with who's prepared to engage their brain instead of just spewing froth and profanities.

You might at least check out PeterT's listing of Tweaks hacks & mods It includes links to posts describing the steps you can take to avoid this issue.

I have a better idea, get Onyx T68 and use Android.

That may be the best solution, in your case. Android was designed to appeal to those without technical skill or interest in much more than finding pretty little pictures to poke. Good luck with that.

It's a semi free world.

If you do not like what Kobo has to offer return your device and move on.

No one forced you to buy it. Did they?

Sorry, you sad little insult does conveys your bitterness on the fact that that the T68 can accomplish all the hacks you just linked without any hacking.

You might want to reverse the statement there, Android is designed to appeal to those who do have technical skills, while the kobo was designed for those without technical skills, but hacking the kobo has put you beyond what the kobo was designed to do in the first place.

No matter how much you hack and how much time you waste, you will always know that your kobo can never be as powerful as the T68.

That's a very interesting statement and I sure would like to see you back it up.
