I'm still quite happy with the Original Kobo and, while the Kobo Touch is a far more capable device, I feel that I got (and continue to receive) the value I believed I was buying with Original Kobo. It's charm is in being very, very basic. It plays back Kobobooks; it allows me to read library books; it doesn't get in the way of my reading with lots of frills.
Like taming, I have to admit I expect a bit more in terms of "keeping pace" with the Kobo Wifi ... but I am much more interested in the Kobo Touch being refined and then let's see what can be retrofitted that still makes the KW better without getting in the way. For me, that means Reading Life can take a pass but it would be nice to have the dictionary improvements.
As much as I really like the improvements of the Kindle 3, I am not the least miffed that the Kindle 2 can't do all the new tricks. It's a great backup reader, giving me full access to my Kindle library. That's enough for me ... same with Kobo.
