Ken,
Pretty much any ereader that can read a few different formats and won't break the bank fits my needs, which is why JBL is on my shortlist right now. I was merely pointing out the fact that the Kobo
is a competitor (specially at that price), in response to LE's apparent disbelief that anyone could possibly compete with the hallowed device.
GhostHawk/hiaig,
I don't know why you consider the SD card thing such a big deal. Personally, I would worry about losing my SD cards, and would be comfortable having the memory inside the device. Besides, that's a moot point, anyway, because the Kobo
does have SD card expandability. And that, really, is the best solution. To have a decent-sized internal memory
and SD card, giving the consumer more flexibility. So that's not really an argument in favour of the JB or JBL.
*EDIT*
Crane,
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm too late. The "Shell Shocker" page on Newegg now has a Canon printer and scanner bundle. That's a shame...
