I didn't mind creating a Kobo account - I have never actually purchased anything from the Kobo store. I have ALWAYS side-loaded all my books using Calibre. However - about once or twice a year, I do turn on WiFi and download OS/sy

Agree - the platform agnostic thing is only a recent reality - but, the "possibility" was there at the begining, and at the time the future seemed very bright. (The fact that they did not sue Mono into oblivion immediately was a
