Tried the Kobo and I'm glad I picked the Kindle!
So I was in Coles book store and noticed they had a new Kobo display. It had the Kobo touch and Kobo colour. I checked them both out and I am happy that I bought the Kindle 3 (keyboard). The books were slow to open and they weren't even full books. Just the first few pages so I can imagine that a full book would have been slower to open. Also my touch is not the Midas Touch and had do often tap the screen twice to get the page to turn... annoying... and it seemed to turn slowly. I didn't have the kindle right next to it so I may be wrong here and a little prejudiced cause I love my kindle...
Just my opinion and wanted to share...

I hadn't had any real issues with the Kobo my brother had. I prefer my Kindle, easily. But, the Kobo is still a fine choice for an ereader.

Glad to see that you enjoy your Kindle, though. An ereader is an ereader.
