Some interesting stuff there Kolenka, but regards the capacitive screen on the Paperwhite, it's been suggested that this is in effect a layer that is painted on, like a coat of nail varnish, so would that mean it's not a layer than needs bonded with the other layers? Sorry of that's a daft question, I'm clueless about the tech of these screens!
Regards the number of complaints about the Kobo v the Kindle, I've been saying all along that it's likely there are far more Kindles sold, so the number of complaints is hard to quantify when comparing the two, and that while Kobo seem to be doing slightly better, it's early days yet and there is plenty of time for things to change. I've said on the Kindle forum though, if I was to go out and buy a front-lit e-reader tomorrow, I'd probably go for the Glo - mind you, the deciding factor is the the on/off button for the light on the Kobo, something the Paperwhite is missing.
