Since I subscribe to Unlimited and this will give me six months free of it, it helps with making up some of the cost that way as well.
Still, I realize upgrading doesn't make sense for everyone if this new release doesn't have features that work for the person. I didn't expect Waterproof so that was a surprise. |
That's great!

I am definitely considering the Kobo Forma. I hadn't heard of it until last night but have since watched a couple video reviews. I like the library Overdrive integration, although my library wish lists are so huge it may be much easier to just search on my desktop and then just borrow from there like I always have. I'm also a little wary of the asymmetrical case and wish it had buttons on each side. Do you know how the Kobo firmware compares to Kindle? Does it have nice dictionary integration? Anything like X-ray? I do like that it can be purchased at Walmart in case I get one with a bad screen or something and have to return it.
