Not long ago, the Kindle 2 was $259. Now, a Kobo + a Kindle 3 can be had for $288 or less. Why not just get one of each?

You're right: the Kobo is a very nice reader in itself and provides easy access to ePub books that may not be available in Kindle format and to the public library. That's enough for me to keep it around.

Plus, I love the Kindle 2 and will replace it with a Kindle 3. I get all the advantages of the Kindle in an updated device.

So, keep both! And enjoy the best of all worlds.
