I just got a Touch (already have a WiFi that I LOVE).

Things I love about the Touch:

I really like the touch feature (it's very responsive, only requiring a very light touch) and the speed.

Love being able to slide through the pages with the navi bar.

Contrast seems quite good. I haven't noticed the ghosting so it's not an issue for me.

I love the feel of the front - the bevels seem to be similar material to the back, just not quilted.

Things I don't like about it or really, really wish they hadn't changed:

1).There is not indication in the list of books as to which ones have been read or marked as finished. I don't understand why they did that!
If I'm reading books that are in a series (and it's been a while since I finished one so I can't remember where I left off) I can't tell which one I last read.
I have a few books that didn't come as an epub but rather individual chapters were loaded into Calibre and each one converted to epub. On the Wifi, I could tell where I was by the "finished" designation.
With my memory, I'm hooped on the Touch.


2). I find the smaller size of the Touch makes it less comfortable to hold. The smaller side bevels and the curved back aren't nearly as comfortable (to me) as the Wifi is. It's quite cute but I'd rather have the larger WiFi size.

3). The homepage doesn't hold onto what I'm reading. It lists the last 5 books I've added.

Nevertheless, I love my Kobos!
And a big thanks to Kobo for the $10 coupon! That was a very nice surprise.
