As it was not functioning properly at all, I was pretty irate and refused to be stuck with it My Kobo was PAINFULLY slow, slow to turn on, off, load and page turns were 5 seconds and finally the unit started freezing between the turns. The battery would not hold a charge properly and had to be juiced daily if used. I loved it's size, weight, format but felt it would fail entirely if I waited another day to return . With the announcement of the new Kindle 3 and itss smaller size, clear screen and longer battery life, I decided I did NOT want another Kobo, but would do with Kindle. My daughter has one and has had no problems at all in almost 2 years.
I have a Jetbook which I love everything about except it's hard for me to read in evening and purchased the e-ink Kobo for that purpose. Now I"m pretty hopeful that the new Kindle will fill that spot. I'm on a daily countdown for its arrival like a kid.
I owe Noah98 an apology as he was correct about Kobo and Nook and the ability to sideload the Nook like Jetbook and Nook can read DRM books from the county library. Yes, one can never load B & N bookstore software and still drag and drop epubs right to Nook easily. This forum is a huge benefit to us all and yes if we (meaning myself) make a mispost or mistake, we should be corrected by user knowing this so the errors don't perpetuate as fact.

No problem, and definitely no hard feelings
None of us are really experts, and it's hard not to brag about our ereaders since I'm sure we are all enjoying them and think that they are the best.
I just want to make sure that we are helping people make the best decision for their money based on information and experiences that are as accurate as possible!
