So you are unable to tell, say 75% of the way through the book that you might want to read the next in the series? I find that truly bizarre. The few books I've DNFed, it took me much less that reading to the last chapter or two before making that decision.

I do find it rather strange that you started reading the book but were unable to decide if you might want to read the next in the series before heading off to bed. Just how long do you read in bed on the average? 3 hours? 4 hours? Until your alarm clock goes off? The old saw about failure to plan is planning to fail comes to mind.

So a total creature of impulse? And as mentioned, a simple checkbox would save you from your complaint about the unsupported firmware version message. And I suspect that I have a better idea than you about Kobo's firmware releases going back over a decade and I don't find it all that bothersome.
