Here's my two cents. I've got an original Kobo. I believe it has the least features of any reader, no bookmarking, no highlighting, no dictionary lookups, pretty much restricted to one site, doesn't play easily with many ereader handlers, slow opening, slow page turns & mediocre battery life.

And yet . . . I love the preloaded classics. I've had it for 3 months - yes just before the new version came out, just my luck - & in that time I've downloaded & ready almost 20 books. I've taken it on vacation, where I got into discussions with Ipad, Kindle & Sony users. (Ereaders seem to be like babies & puppies for sparking strangers to talk to each other) Each person, regardless of device type, had tales of woe with customer support, or trying to load different types of books or just trying to buy a book in the first place.

When push came to shove, I'm not technical. I don't care to tweak anything behind the scenes on my device. I like to Kobo site for purchase (good prices, good variety).

So my advice to just plain reader like me is buy a Kobo, settle down & just read.
