I don't want to ruin good news, but everyone needs to know that Kobo is owned by the shitty Japanese Amazon equivalent called Rakuten since 2012. So the risk of enshitification is pretty high, why not if the hardware is nice, but try to cut as many software ties as possible.

It's been 14 years, and no sign of then making anything shitty, your point at this time is moot.

Let's hope my predictions are wrong then. Are you betting on it?
