Pros: Fairly good form factor, included hard case cover, 4 buttons for left and right paging to accommodate lefties/righties/landscape mode. Now that it's playing nice with ADE, it's super easy to download and transfer files. Wifi is a nice feature, but I won't use it because I won't be using their store. I also appreciate the fact that I didn't have to install the Kobo software to enjoy a free ePub title. I like the color screen to share kid books with my children while we're on the go. I like the actual page turning buttons on the sides of the device. Actual buttons are nice. Did I mention the price for a color eBook reader?
Cons: Battery life about 6 hours (Get more if you shut off wifi and use "night time" mode with white text on black screen.) The Directional Pad stinks for navigating links. I have to use my fingernail to use the left arrow. The keyboard is a nice feature, and I'm hoping someone will hack this OS (linux i think) to let me browse the web with the Lookbook. Until then the wifi is rather a waste. Also, it doesn't seem to charge via USB like many other connected devices; you have to use the power adapter.
Bottom Line: Wow, the price! Now that I got it working, it feels like a great deal.
