However, now I'm rather tempted to have a second ereader as well, for all the meatier stuff I have to read...

I'd be happy to see the Kobo drop down further in price from $200 AUD to perhaps $150 AUD or lower, even with stock shortages. Enough tech-savvy people are ordering $150 USD Nooks from the USA (despite all the shipping difficulties). It's possible that the Kogan ereader soon to be available will undercut demand for the Kobo as well, and I can't quite see the Kobo standing against the onslaught of both as ereaders become more popular locally.
Your link looks fine. Anyway, kobo looks fine too.
I hope kobo people are not leaving support. New firmware with
book cover when off and few tweaks, all would be happy. And
SD card image to do that easily.
