answer:Kobo is all but dead technology. It’s left over from the days of Border’s bookstores, and they have been gone for 5 years. Yes, it works – the Japanese company that owns it still puts some effort into Kobo, but it’s not mainstream and you’ll never see the types of features and development on Kobo that Amazon puts into Kindle or Barnes and Noble puts into Nook (which isn’t very much). So keep using it if you like it, but in the end, Kobo is going to fade away.
