That said, Kindle's much faster, has a sharper screen, and as of the latest edition, the ability to surf the Internet and play MP3 files. It's great. Kindle's biggest failing is it still doesn't support epub (what are they waiting for?) The big price differential used to be a reason to buy a Kobo instead of a Kindle. That's gone now that Kindle's drastically cheaper. Still, I'm grateful to the Kobo people for forcing Kindle, Nook et all to lower their prices. Hail Kobo!
Just to be clear, Kindle could always surf the net (kinda sorta - it doesn't work well with all sites, but you could always do it) and it always played MP3s.

I don't find the lack of ePub to be a problem, and don't particularly care if they ever implement it, aside from the fact it would quiet all the people who say "But it doesn't support ePub".
