Kobo wifi - direct download to device of books bought; access to your library; syncing to bookmarks of your account with other devices (read on Blackberry, pick-up where you left off on the Kobo wifi); inline dictionary; onscreen keyboard for wifi access (passwords); a sharper screen; ePub access; library book access; expandable storage via SD card; kobobooks bookstore with localised content; fits into a family of devices including colour e-reader Literati, Blackberry app, Playbook, iPhone app, iPad, Android app, Samsung Tab, PC and Mac. All for $139.



Kobo wifi has taken steps in the right direction -- as they have the multitude of product enhancements in the past month. This is a credible alternative and sets up the Q4 selling season quite well. Let's hope they can handle the volume -- it's a bad time of year to run out of stock!
You mean the kobo will be 149$? right? or is 139 the US pricing?

Thanks...
