Thanks all.
I'm computer savy, but, I do not see the need to try and get around the country thing. Looking at the kobo, the screen is just as nice. Smudges may be a small concern but when it comes to the ereader, it's about the books. Availability is a huge concern for me. I will miss my Kindle (Just bought it two days ago), and the 3G access as I do travel. But, alas, the Kobo is the winner. Though, I am now quite informed about E-Readers.
