If Apple made an eBook Reader, it would run some castrated version of iBooks. No thanks.

There are things that would make Kobo better. Things you would expect Kobo to do. That would be to fix all the known bugs before releasing new features.

I can't speak for any fonts not built into the firmware of the Nook. And I'm not going to argue about the quality of Sony eReaders — once I got used to the Sony's built in fonts I got to really like them. But I still think my Nook ST fonts were fine — dark with good contrast.

I like the new features of 4.18 ... until I noticed that trying to open a 146 MB kobo epub
triggers a kobo reboot although this same book ( from kobobooks ) was working with my previous 4.15 f/w . I have reported the issue to help@kobobooks.com |

That's a good point. I'm always thinking of the used market... where Sonys have become cheap. My first eReader was a Nook ST — it went on sale for $75 and I thought that was a fantastic deal. (And this is still the most I've paid for an eReader, though I've bought some used, high-end ones now.) I still have the Nook ST. I need to replace the battery soon and its soft rubber has developed "rubber rot," but it's still comfortably usable if I leave it in its case.

It is hard to defend Barnes & Noble because they have been so stupid in the ebook area. However, I have the new Nook Glowlight Plus and I like it very much. Is it perfect? No. For now it works for me. I am very interested in the Libre which is why I keep reading Kobo threads. My next reader might just be a Kobo. |

Just because (to me) the Kobo firmware is an improvement on the Nook, it doesn't mean Nooks are junk. Kobo's never made a 6" reader as physically nice as the 2015 Plus to me. |
