Yesterday I ordered a Kobo Touch from HSN. The price was right and I figured I'd give it a try. The specs all looked really nice.

I have owned/purchased iPad, Original Nooks, Nook Color, Kindle 3 and just recently the Nook Simple Touch. (I had a NST when it first came out and returned it due to blurry font when reading outside. I was told this was fixed so I am trying it again.)

I came here to see what others are saying about it and I'm not really finding a lot about it here. I'm now confused because I don't know what all the software/firmware updates fixed, didn't fix, etc. I guess without the reader in my hands, it's hard to figure out what everyone is talking about.

I love the fact that there are frequent updates on the reader. That's a real plus for sure.

I really love my iPad best, but can't use that to read outside and it's nice to have a smaller, lighter reader. I'm not sure I am loving my NST. I find the screen is not as responsive as I'd like at times. Other times it's fine.
I also feel the page turn buttons are pretty stiff and requires a "good push", which is inconvenient (although I do like having a choice between touch and a button to turn pages.)

But what I'd like to know.....does the KT running on Android or Linux?
When I am reading a book, what shows on the page? Does the clock and time show with the newest update? Does the book title show? I know the page # shows on the bottom.

I'm looking forward to getting it and comparing it side by side with the NST.
