- Screen, yes it Kindle has the pearl ink but I think the bold and the text stood out better. Can we adjust the darkness levels? this should be an option......
Apart from that kobo is good enough, but when compared to Kindle it just doesn't make it...

Agree. Some obvious flaws:
1. Need manual add network account - I don't broadcast my ssid for security reasons.
2. PDF viewing
a) true pdf reflow (excluding this one - following should be easy to do for next firmware)
b) no continuous mode paging - I have to do 2 clicks per page if I magnify the display
c) no jump to page x function
d) no custom magnify setting - only pre-sets 100%, 125%, etc
There are other issues like sync, etc - but the reading "usability" is my highest priority. Difficult to view, too many button presses get annoying.
