As for the price, think about it. You pay say $200 and you get a device that actually works. How many firmware upgrades has Kobo done and they still have not yet fixed the problems?
Many folks in the U.S. want a device with wifi to shop. You can't get this for $200 with Sony. No need to bash Kobo. They're doing a fine job (for an entity their size) actually implementing features that users want and issuing timely bug fixes. Not bad for $129.
