I personally have concluded that in the absence of anything new on the market, my next reader will have to be a Glowlight Plus for just that reason, even though I'd rather stay with Kobo because I direct download my purchases. You can't buy what's not out there.

Some nuance in your responses that acknowledged the issues would make them more useful.
Does the 7.8" nook have hyphenation? I know it's been taken away on some models. I just don't remember which ones. If so, then yes, it's awful.
