I'll have to look up Koreader. No, I didn't see the TOS on Kobo. You usually see TOS when you subscribe. I'll try searching.

I'm on the laptop and I don't want to install a reader on it. It's funny, I prefer to read instructions, recipes, and other how-tos on the computer, but I hate reading books on it. I will use the tablet, and an ereader. It is probably the form factor and the e ink that makes the difference.

This is the second time I've seen electronics shipped in bubble wrap. The other was a Coby tablet ordered from Adorama Camera. At least the Coby worked.

Thanks for all your help.

Just looked up KoReader. Looks like you need root. How hard is it to root Kobo? I've rooted Android phones to get rid of extras and carrier bloat. Use Cyanogenmod. I do use Kubuntu, but still find command syntax a little strange at times.

Think I'll play with the tablet for a bit before I do anything. I haven't rooted current phone (it uses a different Android OS and rooting does not void warranty) as it let me disable most junk.
