I have both a Wifi and a Kobo Touch. I would recommend splurging for the Touch if you can just for a faster machine with more options. The pdf experience is far from perfect on the KT, but it's a lot easier/faster to scroll around on it.
Yeah, in this case, I define compatible with PDF this way. I want something that will display PDFs significantly better than my old Palm Treo with a 2.5" screen. That sets the standard fairly low I think. I actually read a significant part of The Linux Command Line on my Palm a while back.

Thanks for the opinion. I am leaning favorably towards getting a Kobo Touch at this point in time. Linux compatibility seems ok and PDF support is there in a pinch in case I need it.
