Constant popups Couldn't use the app due to the constant pop up asking if I wanted to accept or decline tracking cookies for all their partners. I clicked decline (which is actually still 'essential' cookies) but the pop up justs keeps coming back. As soon as I try to search for any book, you know that I might actually want to give them money for, the pop up comes back, blocks my screen and stops me. Uninstalled. Now trying to delete my account, which also seems impossible - try later, try later

Has improved, slightly, since my last review, at least now I don't have to restart the app if I go off to do something else or find my progress has gone backwards by 5 or 6 pages. Now I just have to put up with the very slow start when I have a poor data signal and a purchasing system that doesn't work, at first glance. There always seems to be a problem at Kobos end, you get told the books not available in your area after paying and then have to search for it rather than it just being there

Kobo is, quite simply, the best digital bookshop one is ever likely to encounter, though I say that as a man who once regarded the entire concept of reading on a screen with the same mild horror one reserves for people who put milk in first. What sets it apart is not merely the volume of titles, but the quiet, almost old-fashioned care with which they appear to have been chosen. One does not so much browse as wander, and in the wandering one stumbles upon the sort of books that expand.
