Been longer for me, and I have pondered buying a new one because my two are quite old now. But Amazon's behavior has seriously put me off. And I definitely prefer reading with my Kobo device now. Though I did wonder if there was a Kindle equivalent to the Libra H20.

Indeed, and so I don't even bother to check a price at Amazon very much anymore. If an ebook I am interested in is a fair price at Kobo, I just buy it. And I never did bother doing the price match thing ... usually I wasn't prepared to wait for Kobo to get back to me ... some of the discounts I've seen at Amazon are lucky to last 24 hours. I've gotten over 7,000 ebooks at Amazon, so grabbing one more now and then, because it was much cheaper than at Kobo, didn't really bother me.
