Also, Kobo does not have Amazon's store and services, so this device will be more of interest to those who love to jailbreak than to those who wish to simply use it as is out of the box. On that level then it will be similar in functionality to the NookColor.
It will be regular Android 2.3 so you don't have to worry about firmware problems. It wont need to be rooted unless you want google apps on it. It should load Amazon App store just fine and any apps you want to side load. There is no limitations other then not being officially approved for the Android Market.

The only real issue is quality and stability of the tablet. How well the screen responds and it doesn't freeze or crash.
