I had a 1st Gen Kobo, and later a Vox, and returned both. I don't know if I changed, or if this ereader is that much better, but it's a keeper!

Battery life is INCREDIBLE, page turning is super fast, screen looks great, the wireless sync is superb, and the "extras" such as the web browser and Sudoku are great! I found the browser disturbingly usable for basic browsing actually. I always wanted that "free 3g" kindle years ago, and you know, for the right price, I would buy one now for traveling.

Anyway, I really lucked out, as a girl had bought one for her mother in law as a gift, who ended up having one. The return period was expired, so I got it off her brand new for much less than retail. I had some books already from my Kobo Vox experiment, so I was up and running in no time.

If they manage to get a backlight on these ala the new Nook, I would upgrade.

I am blown away at how amazing a product the Touch is compared to the Vox and the Kobo 1st Gen. Just blown away.
