Kobo Touch is a great device. I think e-readers are a very personal thing and what one person loves another hates. A Kobo can have issues, but so can a Sony or a Kindle. I'd read up in the forums on the various devices to see what functions you'd really like then test them out in store and see which works for you (and that way you'll know what the current firmware version is and what it changes since the store models are often several versions behind). If you don't mind a slightly slower device check out the Kobo Wifi. You lose some of the functionally of the Touch, but they are quite cheap if you catch them on sale. If there are specific features you want or don't want put them out there and people will give you more specific details on the good and bad of various devices.
