It was pretty easy to sideload my books using an SD card and great to discover that the Kobo reader does provide some organizational tools, like deleting books and arranging them by author. But I had a very frustrating time trying to download apps yesterday and strongly considered returning my new toy.

I was able to find the few apps I wanted and click on download and even get a message that the download had started. But then - nothing! Finally, looking at all the preloaded apps, I noticed one called Downloads, clicked on it and Voila - there they all were! So I installed the ones I wanted, deleted the duplicates, and quite happily played AngryBirds on a screen that's a much better size for it, in my mind, than either an iPod or an iPad!

I love that you can sideload books between friends and family, using an SD card, and think that this feature will actually lead to people buying more books because sharing reduces the per-book cost.

It's definitely a keeper!
