The Kobo is an entry level type of device and is great for if you want to read a book straight through and then read another one. But there is no file organization and to be honest it's a little slow compared to some other devices I have tried. Not slow in a deal-breaker sense for someone who reads very linearly one book at a time, but personally I have more than one book on the go and jump around a lot, so I don't think it would be my preferred device.
You said in a previous post that there appeared to be quite serious issues with the ePub software on the Kobo, such as being unable to change the font size in many books. Do you know if these issues are being, or have been, addressed?
