Sorry for the late response I just remembered, I kept trying to use the wrong password when accessing the site. In the meantime I was passing through Reno last night and was able to try out both the Kindle and the Kobo. The Kindle was pretty responsive and had a good touch, but it felt a bit closed walled, I then moved on to the Kobo which worked wonderfully, a bit bright, but worked wonderfully until the sensors stopped registering touch in the middle of my examination and would not register from that point on. I could not tell if it was the firmware, or the device itself. This alone was enough to put me off from the Kobo. As long as I do not receive a faulty Kindle, I am pretty sure I can work around the walled garden for a little stability.

Oh, btw, the Kobo software is reputedly flaky. Honestly, between the two, I'd probably get the PW, but if I got a crap screen, and it was still crap after 24-hours, I'd send it back. Personally, I'd wait for the new Sony probably coming out by next autumn.

Thank you Rizla, and I do agree on the point of the Firmware on the Kobo, but I would prefer not to wait until the fall and would rather settle for the kindle as of right now.

I think there are now some batches with a yellow light which seems less bright than the original bluish one.

Thanks, but the one I tried in Reno had a pretty bluish tinge to it with the light on.
Pretty much settled on the Kindle now.
Thank you both for your opinions.
