Mine is on the way back. Why?
- It randomly decides to ignore page-turns. After a while, it often starts to ignore swipes and taps. The only temporary workaround is to use the button to go back to the Home screen.
- Dictionary support is among the missing.
- Margins don't work correctly without manually editing the epub.
- Ghosting/blotchy text issues.
- Poor performance - with the Refresh set to one page, page turns are quite slow (compared to NT) when they work at all. Opening a book is sometimes very slow.
- If I wait a week, Borders might deny a refund...

Bottom line is that the KT with 1.9.5 still feels like a Beta version, and I get really annoyed when it gets balky. For this generation of readers, I'll go with the Nook Touch.

OK - now is the part where jackastor chimes in to tell me...
