Here's my new toy! For a week or so, I've been struggling to read a 400-page e-book on my computer screen -- not an easy task, let me tell you... even with an LCD monitor as opposed to a CRT one, it's still hard on the eyes. The Kobo eReader is about to come out with the
second-generation model, which means that the current model was discounted. Since the main difference is that the new model has WiFi connectivity -- and I'm not about to go traipsing around the neighbourhood to find a hotspot every time I want a book -- I thought I'd take the plunge and get myself one of the "old" models.
After I read a book or two on this device, I think I'm going to give it a proper review. I'm curious to see how I like reading e-books (as opposed to paper books). I did try the Kobo in the store a little bit, but I haven't gotten to look at all the bells and whistles yet.
I have a Kobo, Had it since July :)

Congrats on the new toy! :D
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what prompted you to buy the Kobo as opposed to other e-readers? Price, convenience, just liked it better? I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to buy an e-reader (I'm a heavy library user, so e-Media is really awesome and convenient for me) but I'm torn between a Nook, an EZreader, and some other one I don't really remember. I haven't looked into it extensively cause they're expeeeensive. =s
I look forward to you review on it. I love my kindle so far as although there are limitations but the instant download is great.
