I disagree. Other than the font size issue (very easy to work around) I have no gripes about how it performs for reading books. The battery life is poorer than I expected, but if I power down when I'm not using it I get good battery life.

I think that for non-tech users the Kobo could be frustrating as it currently stands. But hey, all of us were early adopters (I bought mine the first day it was released in Australia) and easrly adopters seldom have an easy time of things.

I don't regret buying my Kobo at AU$199. It is still the cheapest eInk device currently available.
