The Voyage with it's page press sensors is the closest upgrade to the K3.

I have a Kobo Glo, not the HD but it's screen is just fine. I also have all three Paperwhites and a Voyage. The screens on the Kindles are better but not really enough to care that much. I do like the feature set of the Kindles more. They don't do as much but they do just the things I like. That's not a big thing. I like reading on the Kobo almost as much.

The real difference is their book stores. Shopping for books is a joy on Amazon. On Kobo it's okay. They have books. They used to be a lot more expensive but now that publishers are setting the price that's only true on books from smaller publishers or self published authors.

If a Kobo was all I had I'd be happy enough. I'm really glad I have the Kindle though, with Amazon behind it.

Today I got a bluetooth transmitter I ordered from Amazon for my neighbor's TV set so she can use earphones without stringing wires. It turned out her TV can't send sound to the audio out due to some defect. She bought the set used. So the device is useless. I called Amazon and they're having UPS pick it up tomorrow. It's as simple as that. No shipping. Nothing but smiles and apologies for my trouble. That's another reason I like the Kindle.

It's not a better device than the Kobo it just comes from a better company.

I haven't received my refund yet on the PW2... Hope I get it soon.

Katie, it can take up to a week for a credit card refund to appear in the card account.

Barbara1955 · 12-18-2015, 10:48 AM

That's a long time... sales will be over

sigh

That's a function of your bank. Amazon files the refund the same day, usually. I have 2 cards and when I get refunds with my Paypal card it nearly always takes between 1 and 2 weeks. On my bank card it's rarely more than 3 or 4 days. They all try to make that process a little slower so they can own your money a little longer. It's just the way financial companies think.

Actually Amazon refunds in the past have been quick. & My son bank post them within 24 hours. I know Amazon got the PW2 back Wed at 11 am in KY. This morning at 8am WV time the refund was still not posted.

But you do get a free case now and that brings the price down because you would still have had to buy a case.

Free case for the Glo HD. It's Kobo's sleep cover.

Have a look at https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca...ectronics-Main

You will be needing a case so if you like the Kobo case, you could get that free.

Cinisajoy · 12-19-2015, 01:25 PM

Katie,
If it has been a week call immediately. That is what they told me last time I talked to them about a refund. Had it in 10 minutes.
