yea, I wish Kobo invested the time it spent on waterproof research and developing in making a minimally acceptable e-ink reader in terms of light, plain bezels and that stuff that should be basic on every e-reader. Those "things" are not precisely cheap, we're not spending 70-80 bucks on them. Instead they still have very deficient software and hardware (devices which stuck on PDF's and which are not even able to pinch in/out, and which have absolute no utility. In fact we're still reading on black and white!! Come one spend your time researching for color e-ink screens instead of that water proof sh*t lol. Who reads under the bath tub or swimming pool? Now I would have to buy specialized glasses to read under water? Lol. I supose this is only the result of a stupid company which intends to be clever. By the way, I'm sorry about the Kobo owners who I offended when I talked about the dark geometric figures and shadows of the Kobos. I'm sorry that the screen is far from a minimum basic quality to read without annoyances. On the other side, I'm sorry if I offended Kindle owners who have that Amazon smartphone-size e-readers. Well, as you can see if you're objective enough, the ebook scene is still pretty pathetic. So I really wanted you guys to say which one is not the worse in your humble opinion... as all I see are defects and a very poor design and quality in both sides, in different aspects. I would be ashamed to ask 179€/199€ for such pieces of cr..
But we need something to read on, right?
