Thanks for your responses. Whenever I get a new device, I begin by finding out what it can and cannot do. Then I work with what it can do! Kobo users often speak about how customizable their devices are. I'm getting a sense of what is and what is not customizable! I may look at adding a few fonts at some point, but for now I want to get more familiar with Nickel and what it can do as it is. I know KOReader already.

I have a couple of Onyx devices, so the Libra 2 doesn't need to be everything. I can use Calibre to get Instapaper-saved articles onto the Libra 2 if I wish.

This is more a curiosity purchase for me - to see what a Kobo is like. The Libra 2 is a good size for me. I'm surprised at how lightweight it feels compared to a similarly-sized Onyx. The display is quite clear and crisp, as I would expect. My first impressions are all positive.
