Detailed review
Generally Kobo is a great little ereader. It is very focused on the task of reading books which is a big win for me. It feels like a beta though. The UX is pretty good, but there are areas that need some work (the currently reading section needs to be rethought). The battery life is no where near the advertised 2000 pages. All around though it is pretty good for the $149 price tag, but with all the other readers moving down into the same price range it is probably time for Kobo to be the $99 eReader.
