Well, it's been a week that I have had the Kobo and it has met my expectations; I can read books without a problem.

Yes, I have to fix some with the KoboBulkFixer.
Yes, I need to use Adobe Digital Editions for a couple of titles.

The Borders/Kobo Desktop is basically a storefront so, not yet a buyer of eBooks because I won't pay physical book prices for digital books, and because there are many books available in the public/personal use domain, this app will not get a lot of use.

Calibre is my app of choice for library management/Kobo injection.

So, no wi-fi, no cell phone, no touchscreen. No annotation/highlighting. No dictionary, notepad, calendar. One physical button to change pages. I can read a book without distraction.

I'm happy.
