Amazing comment, thank you. Saving it for future use :)

I wonder if that will be at all improved with the new model coming out? I do like that Kobo doesn’t have ads on its home screen, as well; I’d probably be willing to put up with less optimal performance if that stays the case. Anyway, thank you for the response! It’s definitely given me stuff to consider before buying an e reader myself

I know nothing about this topic, but was thinking of grabbing a Kobo. What about the software would you say is meh?

Sorry, I haven’t made the jump into an e reader of my own yet, so I may be missing something, but could the same not be said for phones and B&W e readers? Phones can basically do everything an e reader can on its face, but there’s still a niche to be filled by e readers, so I’m not sure lack of demand would exactly be the problem?
