afa, I'm not talking about you specifically. I'm pointing out that we all use our ereaders and other electronic devices differently.

No doubt the kobo will do well. At least here in Ontario, Canada, it will sell because it's attached to the largest bookstore chain Chapters/Indigo

For me, the kobo was not available at the time and it didn't quite meet my needs. Primarily, I do not like e-ink in general because of the flashes on page turns. I trade flashes for battery life any time.

Cheers

ps. apart from the slow usb transfer, I like sd card because it's easier to move among devices. I do read on ebooks on my pda at night (backlight).

Cheers
