Update 09/09/2014:  This has been my most popular post, as of date.  So once you have finished reading this post you might like to read my follow-up post called ' Black Kobo, 4 Years On '. Although it’s been a few months since there has been any activity on this blog, I haven't been idle, I've been reading, playing with a new toy.  Several months ago I acquired a black Kobo e-reader and have been actively using it.  While I have thoroughly enjoyed my acquisition there has been some frustrations.
