Yes Sir! I love this guy "readingglasses". He put a discrete value to the Kobotouch without even knowing it.
2/3
Take in all the features I'd like to see...

So this guy "readingglasses" says 2/3, or even more of these features, are already implemented on the the Kobotouch.
OK! That's great, but since I ain't got (and cant get) a Kobo I can't confirm.
As far as I know not any of them work.
Assuming any of them work, it still might be a pretty far stretch to think
2/3 of them work.
Thus, just to make a simple point: 2/3 Features = 2/3 Price
Current prospective Kobo price: €149; Features adjusted = €100
Smite me Kobo apostels, but I'm not really believing!
I ain't getting one till, well whenever if ever. I'm not so sure anymore.
I will keep on trying to pre-order one.
