Really? Both of my parents have a Kobo and I remember that when I set it up the first thing that it asked was to open a Kobo account and there was no way out of it. Maybe they've changed this in later versions of the firmware? Anyway, considering that this device will last me for a while, I think I'll go for a 300 ppi screen, which no 6" Kobo has.

At this point, I think it's either the PocketBook, which has probably a more refined software (although less flexible) than the onyx and a better warranty (once I go back to Europe) or the C67ML, which probably has a less refined software (and some firmware problems every now and then) although a much more open one, and costs 2/3 of the price compared to the PocketBook once I've bought a cover for it. Of the Kepler I love the metal back and the flush bezel, but I really hate the buttons where they are and all in all, when compared to the C67ML, is too pricey for the extras.
