I had not heard of this brand before. My husband got the Sony e-reader, and then upgraded to the kindle.

Personally, I felt like they just weren't REAL books if I wasn't turning the pages!

But then... I read one book on the Kindle. And realized how easily I could download the sequel to it. No waiting list at the library, no more books for my already full book cases... and just like that, I was sucked right in.

Also note that some of them you can add your own pdf files and stuff onto them. So some types of "specialized manuals" that you have saved on your computer could possibly transfer to your Kobo. *at least, you can do that on the sony and kindle readers*

Enjoy your books!

(my husband has misplaced the kindle *sigh*, so not much reading going on here!)
