I've got the kobo and I find the page turning button to be really annoying. I find it badly placed and a pain to press every minute. Also the software on the kobo is too slow to support the 600 books I've loaded on it. Browsing books is a real pain.

I'm going to return it next week and buy the sony pocket reader 350. It's smaller, weighs less, and easier to hold and no annoying next page button to press. I can't speak to the software because vie only used it as a display in the store but I can't imagine it could be worse than the kobo. Some people say the Sony is over priced but all I want is a good e reader I don't want to surf the web or listen to music on it.

Also both work with Linux through calibre.
