I picked the correct day to read the older posts on this thread. Just saw the Kobo at RIK. Had never heard about it before so I thought it was something local but I should have known better.

It seemed cool though. I would pick the Kindle however but that's probably because I have a Kindle, and though it's not touch screen or anything, (I bought quite a while ago) it works great and it's pretty user friendly etc. As soon as you get it make sure you get The Fever Series.
EDIT: I just saw that Corbeau uses Paypal. Kindle just went up a notch.
