Well I decided to get one of those sony 650's at my local borders for $179.99.(plus I got $5for my next purchase for getting a borders reward card) I havent opened it yet. I was told they are going to get the kobo touchs soon for display here. I want to look at it first and see how it stacks up to the sony.
I have to say though I like the idea of no wifi and no browser on the sony. I dont want the feeling of being connected even if wifi is off. There are a couple things besides the wifi that the sony doesnt that I wish it did. Different fonts and margins. I do know there is a way to get more fonts on the device. Havent seen anything about margins here. Anyone know??

I will say this these things are getting harder to find out here. Borders tried to sell me the $80 extended two year warranty for accidental damage but I declined. I figure for a $180 thats over 40% of the purchase price. So I will take my chances.
