Thanks Bookpossum for the welcome, and thanks for the tip about the MR library. Does that mean we can source ebooks from there - fantastic. Anyway I'll have a looksee.
I bought my KT today after testing it with the Kobo Basic and I preferred the Touch's faster response , also that the flashes to black at the page turns seemed to be much more noticeable on the Basic. Also this is my first experience with a Touch (a Touch anything,yes I'm a neanderthal
) and I loved it. I did want a white bezel but they only had a black, but I realize the case I'll get will probably cover the bezel anyway. So tomorrow is Opening the Box Day, and setting it up. Wooee, it's really exciting. (does a cartwheel or two)
