[Suzanna]

I want the ability to annotate quite desperately, but I'll admit it's not for reading. I've never felt the need to make notes in a book I read for pleasure, and I read quite a bit. I want the ability for when I edit my own stories and books. Reading on an ereader is different than reading on a computer screen, and I think it would be great to add my writing to the Kobo and be able to make editing notes.

For reading, I adore my Touch. If it had collections I doubt I'd use it. I do all that stuff on Calibre and wouldn't duplicate the effort on the Kobo. I find sorting by author/title suits my needs, and I'll go through and add things to the shortlist if I think I'll be reading them soon so they're easier to find. My two avid reader siblings who have Sonys use them just to read as well. My sister A can whip through books like nobody's business, and she's never done anything on her Sony except open a book and read straight through.

Kobo could have the best ereader on the planet, but let's face it, they're still new and I think many people in the U.S. (average customers, not people who follow this stuff like those of us who frequent mobileread) still think they're Borders. Average customers are still going to be drawn to the big names in the business for their ereading experience - Amazon and Barnes and Noble. As someone else noted, this connection to Facebook is strictly a marketing move to attempt to gain them market share. No one is going to become huge by just concentrating on a product. They still have to market the thing.
