Ageing software hack about to connect
Hi eReader people.

A few years ago I bought an 'mp3' player for myself. Not by nature one to follow the herd I wasn't very impressed with the iPod, with its limited range of codecs and susceptibility to terminal damage from daily knocks, so I looked around and instead found a Cowan iAudio device that supports ogg, flac and a range of other codecs (plus video too.), and takes an SDHC extension memory card. Ideal. For the price it knocked Apple's offering into a cocked hat. So I bought one and haven't for a moment regretted it.

I'm about to embark on a similar exercise for an eReader, but although local shops are awash with Kindles, I'm not too impressed with them either. So my research has brought me to the brink of buying a Kobo eReader, which in conjunction with Calibre for format conversion, should just be the ticket. I use Debian Squeeze at home (told you I don't follow the herd), so the fact that the Kobo software is also available for Linux appeals greatly.

Can anyone see a down side to this?
