Well said! I get my ebooks from the public library, mainly. When I buy a book, I have no problem doing so from my laptop, and then loading it onto the Kobo.
I bought the Kobo because it was simple, cheap (relatively), and made by a Canadian company. I like all of these things. The only functions I've missed are PDF reflowing and bookmarks. The former I've dealt with by converting PDFs to ePub with Calibre (which usually works okay), and the latter... well, that's truly missing.
And bookmarking is the only function that real books have that the Kobo doesn't. So basically, it's like a book. It's light and simple, and good for reading and not much else. But that's fine by me.
