To be honest, if I'd known that B&N were going to release a $150 nook then I don't think I would have got the Kobo. Unfortunately it's too late to return it too, since i bought it about 16 days ago.

Is there anyone else out there that genuinely doesn't
want all those extra features?
I don't want a touchscreen getting in my way while I read, I don't want to pay for wifi I won't use (I can load 1000 books, it's not like a song where I get a sudden inkling for a certain one, I download and load them in advance when I'm nearing the end of my book), I have
never used a dictionary while reading a book. Replaceable battery would be nice, but again I don't need it and I read for 3-5 hours a day.
And to me the Kobo is so much nicer looking than all the other readers I've seen. I love my Kobo and don't regret my purchase for a second.
