Kobo eReader

Well, I must not be the only one willing to put down 150 bucks to see what this can do. According to Borders website, the kobo is sold out for it's initial June shipment. They are preordering for July 2nd.

Firstly, I am glad I don't have to try and find this at Chapters, and secondly, I am glad that it's generating interest faster than they can make them.

Everything I have seen indicates that as far as gadgets go, it is a single purpose machine, and I expect it to be good at it's only function. It's also by far the cheapest on the market, and comes unbundled from internet access and a monthly data plan. I can always harvest the news with Calibre and load it daily if that's what the internet was for.
