No, I'm not. The OP specifically, in the quote, referred to build quality, i.e. hardware. And the tactile feel of Kobos don't scream quality to me. In fact, I thought I might return the Libra 2 at first before I got used to it.

The Kindles I've used - K2, PW3, Voyage - have all felt sturdier and better built.

Does that mean that I prefer Kindles? No. I agree that the software is important, but that wasn't the point that was being addressed.

There's no reader that has felt "premium" to me. Either in software, hardware or a combination of both. Luckily, that isn't a priority for me. I just want everything to work and reading to be pleasurable.
