That's what I thought too and I still use the Kobo Glo, but my aggravation over it grows daily and it's been over 4 months now that I've been using it. The worst of my issues with it is that a combination of WinXP + AMD processors + Calibre just doesn't play nice with the Kobo Glo. It always disconnects during sending or deleting books using Calibre and pops up errors. I have a pokey netbook with Windows 7 that doesn't have the problem, but I use it only for travel, so pulling it out of the closet and updating my Calibre library to it everytime I want to swap books to the reader is getting tiresome real fast for me and I'm to the point that it's just not worth it.

The light is very very nice on it though, I'll give it that.
