That's a shame. I was pretty amazed with the ergonomics of the Kindle Oasis but that screen was just too awful. At least with the Kobo it's mostly software issues that bother me, which can be easily updated with firmware updates so im happy to hold onto it.

I know its been something like decades but I would really like the luxury of exporting my favourite quotes out of the book! I delete books as soon as im done (which on my H2o made it a lot faster so no options there) and the highlighting is a bit of a sloppy mess too. The software is quite a ways off from being as zippy as the Kindle. Page turns are slow and sometimes unresponsive, and hitting certain buttons always hits a button a little way off from the actual button you press?

And Amen to the Comfortlight Pro, somebody mentioned that it 'wasnt a gimmick' and makes me wonder how I used to read on all those hideous blue-light screens previously! Blegh!
