I don't have any kind of "Cloud" account and Win 8.1 works just fine.

Question on the app, if anyone is using it
I won't be using it a great deal, but it's handy to have for a quick read on my Laptop Is syncing between devices working ok for others If I read in the Win 8 app and then go to another device it prompts me that I have read on another device do I want to go to that location (this is good) If I read on another device, then go back to the Win 8 app it just opens at the last page I was at in win 8, not the page I was at on the other device Don't have a Kobo ereader this is with Android Kobo app/Win 8 |

That's what I was thinking (or the new Win 8 app is not reading from server, only sending updates) I will try setting up the Kobo cloud reader and see if I can narrow it down |

Why do I need to give my email address for using, updating and downloading (free) Apps? Microsoft wants to combine your email address so it can track you through the web (xbox live, xbox cloud, ...). I refer to the Tiles screen from Windows 8. I have seen advertisement for XBox Live and XBox One in general. I'm always astonished how naive North Americans react (or not react) on privacy issues. |

If you are seing adverts on your Windows 8 home screen you've got some app on there which is displaying them. The solution is simple: get rid of it.
