Yeah I thought that part was odd too. Reviewer also mentioned several times the weight without pointing out you are getting 69% bigger screen. He seems to be coming from perspective of someone who doesn't want a bigger reader, which is fine, but most people considering this reader want it for the bigger size, knowing they must make a trade-off in weight. It's like reviewing an SUV from the pov of someone who just wants a sedan and saying "this thing takes up more room in my garage and uses more gas." Well, no kidding!
His criticism of s/w shortcomings is on point, though, (even if a lot of it is of the "why can't kobo be Amazon" variety). I wish more reviewers would push kobo on the occasional sluggishness and flakiness of their s/w, and more reviewers would push Amazon on their lack of customizability.
