Hello to all, after I lost my Sony PRS-T2 (or more probable someone robbed it

) I was undecided between the Sony PRS-T3 and the Kobo Aura HD... in the end I've decided for the Kobo Aura HD because:

The Sony didn't read a good 50% of the EPUB I gave to it! Ohh well it read them but I couldn't change the font and the size... the same thing of unreadable
Impossible to jailbreak and so not possible to add no new reading software that could solve Sony's bug!
No integrated light and so old tecnology in the end...

The Kobo Aura HD read the file without so much hassle the font size was practically already correct I had only too much margins: 50% of screen was margin

Lucky I've found I could easy change this... now I've 0 margins and all it is OK... well some pages are strange! They are not totally full of text but only 60%... and is very rare to see a page that it is full (I'd say the majority are at 80%). But it is the first book I'm reading so... maybe it is bad formatted!

Now the questions:

The Sony USB charger (PRSA-AC1A/C) is compatible with the device or not? It is all remains to me of my PRS-T2
Kobo decided to not give to us a stylus pen! The shop had the device but no accessories... I've intention to take notes with it too as I did in I'm PRS-T2 (that part was really excellent, here I think I've to use third party apps), there's a cover plus pen combo? That emulates the "Sleepcover" thing?
I had a strange problem... I cannot copy a CBR file! It is of 120 MB so a little big, Windows copies only 20 MB then it stops! The drive disappears (it sees it empty) and obviously the device cannot read the file. I'm using Teracopy not Windows explorer file copier... but it shouldn't be a problem
By the way probably the comic was unreadable as usual too little text!
There comics created with ebooks in mind? Or not?
