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
No doubt the kobo will do better than JBL simply because it's attached to the borders book chain.

I'll be frank. People seem to care more about the brand name than their needs. Look at the ipad, for example. If you really look at what it offers, it sucks! Yet, they have sold 1 million units in a month. I'm not kidding you, it sucks. I can give you a whole list of reasons why it's not as magical as they make it out to be. But people don't care. It looks cool and it's attached to apples.

Anyway, the kobo seems too limited for me. Speaking as a techie, I wouldn't get something like it.
