>> ... I must be a heathen ...
YES, you HEATHEN! (grin) Add me to your "I am a Kobo heathen" bumper sticker mailing list, please.
I have only been involved with the Internet for about 25 years. My wife is pleased with her Kindle 2 that I bought her as a Christmas present last year (we've been married 20 years, so giving each other "hardware" items is OK ... although I do NOT recommend newlyweds give each other hardware (nor software) gifts in their first ten years of wedded bliss). And, honestly, I was JUST thinking to myself ...
Should I feel guilty for enjoying my Kobo as much as I am?
You know what's next: "Clint, you could have WiFi and a easily-replaceable battery with a Nook!" Or, "Dude, just save up an amount the same as totaling three or four online books, and purchase another Kindle2."
And I bought my Kobo (or is it, "kobo"?) sight un-seen - a Borders US pre-sale for arrival last month.
I dunno ... maybe it's the Pina Coladas talkin' tonight ... But I am enjoying my Kobo and the "growing pains" that we've experienced the past month. I cannot IMAGINE Amazon.com being as receptive and transparent as the fine folks at Kobo corporate have been for us this past month. My Kobo lets me read my purchased books and the .pdf docs I have loaded onto my SD card without failure. Do I NEED WiFi? If I leave the house with my Kobo, is there really going to be a scenario where I run into someone who tells me, "You absolutely gotta purchase this book - it's a killer!" while I am on vacation?
OK, so the Pina Coladas ARE typing ...
Long live Kobo.
