Kobo always seems to have a reading-specific bug that keeps me from buying.

Six months ago, when I bought my Sony 650, I spent a month shopping around. The 650 cost twice as much, but had what I wanted. The Kobo lacked a touch screen, but more importantly, could not jump to a page.

Today, Kobo has a competitor for the 650, but if it can't follow hyperlinks in epubs, and still does not have comparable PDF viewing options, then it is still a bad buy.

Kobo is a Canadian company, or at least a Canadian front, and I would love to support it, but they always come up short. I could say the same about their storefront vs amazon.ca, but since Kobo sells epubs and Amazon does not, I can at least say 100% of my purchases have been through Kobo.
