Yes, very happy with mine.
Bought it right after launch (took a bit to get to Australia though), no major issues. Kept the firmware updated, only bug I experienced was the "bottom line cut off" which had an easy workaround and is now fixed in the latest firmware. For your information: I run linux on my computer, all firmware upgrades were done manually, no issues. I download my purchased books via ADE and transfer my books to the Kobo via calibre. Never had an issue. |

I've had mine for a couple of months and not a single issue. Worked out of the box just perfectly. I've bought books from Kobo and borrowed books from the library. I've updated the firmware each time, but never had a bug that needed fixed. I think it's a vastly under rated ereader.

My experience is much as that of others above. I got my KT from Borders US (which seemed to take forever but that was the mailing system). I had the Factory Reset problem which could be skirted around, and the last line cut-off which could also be fixed. No problems at all now. I do everything through Calibre.
I haven't tried purchasing any books yet - I have found plenty of free ones to keep me happy - so I can't report on that. |

Going on five months now. No problems except for the cut off line of the last update. Even that wasn't as severe as some have reported. I could read it just fine.

Well I got my KT today and I had a go with the screen and I don't find it that responsive to my fingers but I put it down to having fake nails and they stop me from putting my fingertips properly on the screen. I think I need to get them shortened lol.
