Thanks frozennorth. I'm also seeing a kobo online at futureshop for $59.99. Refurb, but not wifi. Is there any difference in this one and the wifi one you mentioned other than the wifi. As I said before, I don't mind refurbed electronics. As a matter of fact I prefer them. Cheap for one thing. And if refurbished by the manufacturer quite often refurbed electronics undergo more rigorous testing than original items. Parts are so cheap they replace them rather than repair.

Also, of the 3 you mentioned, which would you believe is a better dedicated reader. Wifi is acceptable, but of the least importance. In other words, I wouldn't pay more just to get wifi.
