I want to do something nice for my older sister who has had a rough year. I watched a comparison video on the Kobo Touch and Nook Simple Touch today and I've almost decided to go with the Kobo. I almost bought one today, but BestBuy is sold out -- but for the price it looks like an excellent fit. I plan to load it up with books and use the MicroSD card to load lots of audiobooks for her.
The thing is, I don't see a lot of Kobo Touch users here...mostly Sony or Nook or Kindle. Makes me wonder why.
