Kobo launched it in April to the surprise of many. The slightly larger (6.8") display, higher resolution and crystal clear, uniform lighting makes it a joy to read on. Although Kobo is known for its occasionally buggy firmware, the many user-customized features make up for it, i.e., font sizing, font weight, sharpness, line spacing and margins -- all adjustable via slider as opposed to pre-determined and limited values as on the PW. Also nice is the addition of a physical button to actually turn the light completely off, if desired. The only negative is dealing directly with Kobo.

Hopefully Amazon is working on an improvement.
