I have been a Kindle owner for years. I also have an iPad..don't read on that much, because the backlight gets to me after about an hour and a half.

Being that Kindle doesn't do library books, and I'm not quite ready to live on the wild side and strip DRM, I figured I'd have 2 ereaders( I know quite a few people who have more than one) and get the Kobo. I found it sluggish to be honest, and putting the library books on there was a pain. A friend then told me about Bluefire Reader for iPad so I decided to go that route. I already owned the ipad, so that worked out.I buy most of my books anyway, so I can confine my reading on the iPad to about an hour a day.

I didnt ever consider a Nook either because I'm very happy with both my Kindle and Amazon CS. That's my main beef is Kobo's CS. I think the ereader is alright..not fantastic, but a nice option for those on a budget or maybe for a kid. The CS is abysmal and I think it's going to hurt them in the long run if they don't shape up.

I live in the US.
