Kindle for PC lets me right click on the cover and select download. I can download books as fast as I can click them. |

I don't really feel right about stripping DRM from library books. I did do it one time because a Dean Koontz' book was so terribly typeset that I didn't want to read it with all the spaces between dialog (why do they do that?). I made sure I was done reading it before it was due and deleted it before that date.

I think to me the Kobo beta web browser would be better for me to check something I am reading. Quote:
I have to say my biggest bug for a kindle is the inability to increase the font on the home page or folders. I view them as details, not book covers and find the font way too small for me. |

The dictionary is useful if you’re studying. In academic books you may come across difficult words which you frequently can not guess by the context.
I’ve found that ereaders excel in this regard. It’s convenient, a lot lighter than carrying one. |

The fact that this happened once doesn't mean that your Voyage is necessarily on a downslide. This happened with my Mom's paperwhite a couple of years ago and the problem never occurred again.

Note, given the lack of audiobook support, it really is mostly suitable for just manga. It kinda chokes if you put 32GB worth of regular ebooks (tens of thousands?) in there.
