Wow, I'm glad they updated the fonts on the Kobo device, because the fonts on the Cybook/Bookeen look awful (at least in the linked shots above).

As for support for .txt and .doc, probably for simplicity. I mean, they are selling their eReader so that people will buy more books from Kobo. I mean, technically, even the Sony readers don't support .doc, they are converted to RTF via the Sony Reader desktop software.

I am glad they made mention of reading manga (though through PDF). It would have been nice if they supported manga/comic formats (cbz, cbr) like the iRiver Story. But again, this thing is only $150.
