In any case, does feels a bit weird to be betraying my 3yr affair with the Kindle--but kind of welcome too. Ereaders are such personal things it is oddly like straying in a relationship, with all the illicit thrills that has to offer.

I'll keep you posted as to how I get on with it. And once again--many thanks for your advice!
Good price for all the kit. When exploring and setting it up make sure that you have the box ticked for the 'sleep cover' - it is in Settings --> Light, Sleep & Power --- on page 2. You can also turn it off if you don't want it after all - we like choice!

I expect when you register, the firmware 2.5.2 will be loaded on it and your homescreen will have the carousal layout. Be aware that 2.6.1 is rolling out . . and that your homescreen will look like the Aura'a after that with the tiles. Have no idea when it will get to you . . but it will

If you want to see piccies, Peter posted some in this thread - just scroll down to see them . . if you click on them they will enlarge.

As for your Kindle . .. that was just a minor distraction and I am sure you are suitably repentant and will withdraw from public life to spend more time with your Kobo family!
