I ordered K3 WiFi immediately when it was announced. My reason for initially buying Kobo (shipping via a friend) was that Kindle was too expensive and only 3G versions that is not supported in Latvia.
K3 was perfect answer to all of this:
- cheaper WiFi only version
- direct shipping so no need to bother my friends
- price below 150 euros, i.e., no import tax/VAT
It has also better contrast and very fast response.
Dictionary was also a big plus as my English skills are not perfect and I often want to look up the meaning of a word.
Maybe I should exercise more but pressing Kobo button is rather hard. Kindle is more comfortable when reading in the bed.
Epub conversion to mobi format so far has worked without issues. On the other hand some documents converted to epub made my Kobo to reboot. In particular, centered text blocks or tables. It is a bug that should be fixed.
On the other hand Kindle looks so fragile and slippery that I am afraid to take it out of home and use in public. Kobo has better form and rugged back and is preferred for reading in the beach or on bus.
