The KA1 had some issues with sleep mode and battery drain that were resolved in the first 4.2.8110 firmware. This latest one may have been a Beta version, as it did not automatically sync on my device. I loaded it anyway and simply went back to the 4.2.8110. It works.

I have had Sony, and Kobo. My sister has Kindle. I can tell you that the KA1 with the 4.2.8110 is the best reader if you like a slightly larger screen. If you do a lot of pdf, read on a tablet. For reading books, the KA1 is for me the best. Readers are very personal. I am pretty tech savvy and prefer ePub to Amazon azw3. I also like the ability to side load files more easily on the Kobo. Amazon and Apple are a little too closed for many of us. Try to find a file on either device.
