I do not know where this nonsense started. But I own a Kobo. And I could not ask for a crisper, sharp font than the built-in sans serif. There's no "clarity" not "contrast" issue with the Kobo. There might be a difference on paper spec sheets - but for enjoyable reading? There's nothing "lacking" in a Kobo's contrast nor clarity.
SOURCE: I own a Kobo, Kindle2, and have played with Nooks.

As I've mentioned to you before Clint, this "nonsense" started when professional reviewers who have nothing to gain started reviewing the Kobo. I even gave you the example of CNET.com (widely respected) who in their written and video review mentioned this. Also, if you read some of the posts by forum members who actually bought and like the Kobo, they admit that the screen was not as nice as the nook, Sony PRS-300, and Kindle. When I compared the devices (I actually considered buying a Kobo) I could see the difference. Why would people lie? The brick and mortar Borders bookstores is actually my favorite when compared with Barnes and Noble and Books-a-million!
Please don't be stubborn. I am positive that the screen on the Kindle 3 (pearl) is going to be much nicer than the screen on my nook. That's just the way technology works. If you enjoy the Kobo and want it to "live long," great! But don't deny the flaws as vehemently as you champion the advantages.
