As much as I love my Kindle 2, it is heavier (I leave it in the leather case) and hold it "like a book" ... the Kobo is like holding one half a book -- just the page I am reading.
I can see, over time, how a reader like the Kobo can thrive delivering just the basics. (There are a few glitches -- like the ePub font problem and lack of instructions on basics -- but these are minor and easily fixed.) Other devices -- perhaps a SuperKobo -- can step up with bells and whistles in the future. But simple -- just lemme read -- has a lot of merit!

Yeah, I'm hoping that eventually Kobo will release something with a few more bells and whistles, but really for reading the Kobo is great. I never needed (or wanted) Wifi.
The only thing they really need to do is get the font glitch fixed and maybe a little faster start up and page turn.
