I've been deciding between the new Kobo Touch and the new BN Touch. I ordered the Kobo.

This is one reason I picked the Kobo. They've done an excellent job fixing bugs and adding useful features.

I also liked that Kobo's memory doesn't reserve and hide memory for store bought content like the BN Touch does. Yea I'm sure you can root it and shrink that partition but I shouldn't have to.

I also like having a basic web browser available even though I don't have wifi (yet) in my house. BN's Touch does have one but its not advertised and crashy (probably why its not advertised).

The lack of dedicated page turning buttons doesn't mean much to me. Tapping the screen or a button is all the same to me. And not having dictionary support for sideloaded epubs in the current firmware isn't a deal breaker for me either.
