But one thing that differentiates Sony from Kobo is the ADE in use. The ADE in the non-touch Kobo is buggy in some significant ways. The two biggest bugs in the Kobo is no link support and buggy embedded font support. Those two bugs make the old Kobo no worth buying (IMHO). This is why I would not rush out and pre-order a Kobo. As for the new nook, I would also wait if I had a reader. I'd want to see the Kobo and the nook. Also, are the rumors true about a touch Kindle supporting ePub? And then what about Sony?

So really, what I think is the best thing to do if you already have a reader is just wait. Don't rush out and buy one now based on incomplete information. Wait and see what happens. Keep what you have and see what comes by the end of the year and then make your choice when you'll have enough information.
