my Kobo fails again

My Kobo has died. The screen has gone. This is the second time. I have rung Borders - who were charming - and they'll fix or replace, when I find the receipt.

The other issue I've been having is that when I plugged it in, it would charge but the icon would not appear on my desktop, so it wouldn't synch my new purchases. I've returned it to the default settings by putting a paperclip in the back, but no luck. I'm wondering it is being in a mac environment.

To be fair - Borders can no longer afford to give out free things.

And also - this is why you always stick to good ol' books. The Kobo will have to improve remarkably (and the price will have to drop even more remarkably) for it to catch on.

Plus it makes my eyes hurt.

Did you have the option to register the Kobo when you bought it -- ie. should they really need a receipt?

I bought a Kindle a couple of months ago and have been using it without any problems.
