Kobo CEO Says Not Selling Washing Machines Key To Overtaking Amazon 207
DavidGilbert99 writes "Kobo, the Canadian-based ebook company is number two in the market, behind the behemoth that is Amazon. So what does the CEO Michael Serbinis think is the one thing which will allow them to overtake the e-commerce giant? 'We don't sell any washing machines, we don't sell radios. We are not focused on the next server farm to offer data services. It is a question of focus.' Serbinis goes on to tell IBTimes UK: 'From an organization standpoint at Kobo, this is all we do. Everyone at Kobo, all we focus on is creating a great experience for book-lovers.'"

Yes. I just downloaded a Kobe book - so far, half way into it, I'm finding it a much better experience. Every. Single.Amazon.Book. that I've purchased has numerous, obvious typos. . . .

I've always assumed it's some weird endianness issue. Which doesn't bode well for the actual e-books...
