And I hate that I don't get my book cover as a screen saver.

Since it's Android based, I may try to root it and/or simply install MoonReader+ and see if that makes the whole package more attractive. But neither will fix the screensaver issue (I don't think). All in all, it makes my Libra 2 look all the better (what I really want is a Kobo Forma with the DPI and clarity of the Sage or Libra 2). Plus, with the patches, I can configure tap zones and buttons on my Libra 2 to all page forward, which I really value. There is no tap zone customization available on the GL4+, and the only button customization is to choose whether the top or bottom buttons are page forward.

Probably will return to my local B&N. By the way I ordered with standard shipping (in NYC) and it arrived within 2 days.
Sounds to me like you want keep reading on your Kobo.
