Not that anyone will likely read this, However I figured since I have nothing else to do I would update this post.
I sent many e-mails to KOBO customer support with lackluster results. KOBO staff are trained to reply with pre drafted scripts that neither answered my concerns, or showed that they even read my e-mails in any detail.
After a few weeks for frustrating responses I unistalled the app and didn't think to look back. My house has billions of readers laying around, androids, playbooks, computers, laptops and e-readers so it didn't matter.
Eventually I received an e-mail that was obviously drafted by an employee with a heart beat. The e-mail was just a short, "Hi, we updated our app and it includes font adjustments. Thanks".
I re-downloaded it and it worked.. However I never use it as I lug my playbook everywhere.
