A minute of online research would have shown you that.

A minute of online research would have shown you that.
>> ... Battery life, according to the battery indicator, seemed worse than expected.
About three minutes' worth of research would have told you that (1) maximum battery cycle longevity takes a few complete discharge-charge cycles, and (2) that when the Kobo indicates "50%" it really has a lot more battery life left.
>> ... The screen was fine, but I was able to appreciate how a slightly better screen would be nice in lower light situations.
SInce a lamp of some sort is used by most in low-light situations, this makes no sense to me. Even without direct light hitting my Kobo in the living room, for example, it is very readable.
>> ... The new Kindle should be better, though how much better is still unknown.
You had a Kobo in your hands ... but gave it up on something no one on the planet has used for review purposes. (grin)
>> ... I am a Linux user ... no straightforward way to get library books if you use Linux. This isn't Kobo's fault ...
Just admit it - you got caught up in the Bezos/Amazon marketing madness. Hey - I did, too - I pre-ordered a Kindle3 even though I have no need for it, already owning a Kindle2 and a Kobo. But even I, the master of rationalization, cannot make sense of any of your six points where you state the Kobo failed you.
And so it goes ...
