- Frequent firmware updates -I like new features, but I don't like bugs. I'd rather wait a bit longer and have Kobo get the bugs out

In summary, I'm very happy with it. Had the Sony been the same price, I might have gone that way for aesthetic reasons.


Hope this help someone

Hopefully the collections will come soon, they are in the firmware but they aren't active yet, see plug-in thread for details.

How are you turning pages? I can read one handed just fine, I keep my thumb on the bezel and all I have to do is roll it to the side a bit. I never use my pointer to turn pages.
