Cdesja5 I am in Ireland.
I see your point about the long term ascpect of it. Makes a lot of sense!
Ok was sold on Sony yesterday and now Quexos has put me off it again.
So. Sony is good long term, reliable brand and quality device just not a world beater.
Kobo is newer technology, processor and the glow thing. But maybe not so reliable?
I don't need anything cutting edge just a good, solid, hard wearing eReader.
It's so hard to chose! I suppose the Kobo is just shinier, a bit prettier and fancier, like a second wife

when actually I need a practical and dependable first wife.

hmmn.
Pretty things are so distracting!!!!
