it is great for reading large pages...just wish they could come up with one that could be laid on the page...but it is a lot better than trying to read that small print...

I just bought the new Kobo Touch E-reader, and I really like it. It isn't the best e-reader(meaning that it does not do your laundry, walk the dog, let you listen to music), nor is it the worst(like the Amazon Kindle that steals your paid-for books right off your reader, or breaks when you drop it a measley 6 inches), but if you are happy with a reader that basically just lets you read books, and not surf the web, listen to music, etc, and you don't want to shell out big bucks, than you will enjoy it. I paid $129+tax for mine.
I chose this one for many reasons:
(1) Unlike the popular Kindles out there, I heard no bad reviews about this e-reader.
(2) The price: this is one of the lowest-priced e-readers on the market.
(3) VERY easy to use. I played around with the demo model of this thing at Borders where I bought it, and I'm willing to bet that even those who are 'electronically-challenged' will not have any problems with it.
(4) You can download free books from the library. Since I have little financial means, this is the one of the biggest features I was after. I currently have 47 FREE titles on my reader! Also, many of the books you actually have to pay money for are much cheaper than the ones for the Kindles. Sometimes, on the Kobo website, you can get books for as low as 99 cents when they are having a sale. They also have an entire section of books for $4.95. They also don't delete paid-for books off your system like Kindle does, or used to do.
(5) There are 17 different font sizes, which will let even the poorest eyes read in comfort.
(6) You can download books to your reader from anywhere, since it connects with Wi-Fi.
(7) It is very light, thin, and easy to hold. Since it is a touch screen, you only need the on-off button and the 'home' button.

Basically, as another 5-star reviewer stated, this e-reader was made just to read books and carry them all around with you, but in its defense, isn't that what you bought it for? Are you (not meaning the reviewer) really that impatient sort of person who absolutely cannot wait until you get home to check your e-mail, that you have to carry around a little expensive device? I don't know about you, but trying to check my e-mail on a 3-inch screen is rather touch and go, since I keep clicking on the wrong items.

  Sometimes, you have to get simple to get quality. The Kobo Touch delivers. The only minor issue I have with this device is that sometimes the touch-screen isn't as responsive as I would like it to be, but this does not bother me very much. Like I stated above in not so many words: it isn't perfect, but still enjoyable. I researched at least 10 different e-readers before selecting this one, so this is the one that will give you the least amount of grief. Believe it or not, I never found a 'perfect' reader out there. Every one had major problems except for this one. Kobo rocks!

This reader is awesone and so is the app for the phone.  I like it because there is no long cords to mess with and you can use wifi or Bluetooth to connect to you phone or computer.

This thing is great for reading.  As many others have mentioned the "next page" button on the right side should be the same size as on the left and not extented all the way to the top because now you accidentally change pages all the time and when reaching for the on/off switch you also change pages.  For those of us who live on a "Sprint" fringe coverage area it would be great if Kindle/Amazon went with a service such as AT&T and/or Verizon because they both have much greater coverage than Sprint.

I know this has just come out and I look forward to the FINAL touches being put in place

Love this e-reader for the most part.  Very easy to read on it, enough memory to store books to hold me over many times over, and just well-built.  Only things I don't like are that it can be harder to read in very dim light (shouldn't read like that anyhow) and the keyboard, while ok, is somewhat difficult to use.

Have had this for the past few years without any issues whatsoever, but waiting for the next Paperwhite version to upgrade to at least take care of the dim light reading trouble.

this product is good as a reader. as long as you don't expect lightning speed then you are ok. I am a patient person so no biggie for me. It works great as a reader. I also use it with my tablet holder in the kitchen to have arecipe right in front of me. and I can play games on it. Im satisfied but then im easily satisfied! If i want some thing that will browse the internet fast I have a computer and a phone so I am good with this :)

My experience with the Kindle reading device has been very positive. I find it convenient to use at home while reading in a chair or in bed. It is most convenient traveling or reading while having a meal at a restaurant. Instead of having pages needing to be weighted down or to be turned you just have to push down on the edge of the device while it is resting on the table. In addition you can have a large choice of reading material all in one place enabling you to have a variety of subjects at hand without being encumbered by carrying many books with you.
There are certain drawbacks. In a printed book with pages, if you want to go back to review something you previously read, you can just flip through the pages. This is more awkward and time consuming on the Kindle. When I read a novel on it now when a new character is introduced I write down the location number on a piece of paper so I can jump back at a later time if I have forgotten the characters significance to the story. And it is also possible that as I gain more experience with the Kindle I will become more proficient at navigating the text.
Another draw back is sharing a book. I am reading something that my wife would also like to read when I am finished. With a book I can just give it to her when I finish, but with the Kindle I would have to lend her my Kindle leaving me no use of it while she reads. As far as I know there is no way to download a book from my Kindle to hers.
Another problem--if you lose your Kindle you've lost your whole library.
However, given these problems, or potential problems I highly recommend this device and look forward to downloading many books on it.

A pretty nice ereader.
>It's light
>Has four page turn buttons
>Has an sd card slot
>Has a really nice rubber backing.
>Great for reading downloaded epubs.

The device is good for what it does,which is reading BN books and epubs.
The only problem is that ever now and then,the device would somehow "forget" about my shelves.

Thank my brother and an our friend for the kindle they sent from US to me one month ago.
Its dictionary is very handy for readers to read English articles. Except the phonetic alphabet and sample sentences, I like reading the explanation of the Latin origin of the words. The function of writing notes make me easily record my thought association of what I am reading. I find using the functions of kindle's dictionary and notes-writing which I have tried now is much more convenient than practicing these functions in paper materials. These functions may be not big things for someone, but I think it can make a big difference for many people.
Amazon kindle kindles my enthusiasm to read English novels and essays. It is above my expectation. I am a little worried that these functions would be deprived from my kindle someday if I show off them too much.
Like many companies of Western Countries, Amazon bring many good things to our life. I love it, please keep doing good job. You bring hopes and affluence (spiritual and material) for the people in the world. Thanks a lot.

I love mine!  I read constantly so this is perfect for me.  I love the following:  lightweight and easy to hold (great for my fingers and hands), buttons to advance to the next page or go back a page is great (being able to flip it so can use it with your left or right hand), the long battery, etc.  This is excellent for readers that read a lot.  I read between 200 and 300 books in a year so this works great for me.

If you want an eReader to borrow library books or add .epub books from open source, this is the one for you.  It's easy to use and very functional for reading.  The battery lasts for months for me and I read 1-2 hours a days on this.  The wi-fi is slow but functional and I love being able to get library books where ever wi-fi exists.  The Sony bookstore prices aren't great so this may not be the reader for you if you plan to buy books for the most part.  But borrowers and open source book readers should love this one

As a casual reading Bible, this Bible is very good.  As a basic study Bible, I would not recommend it.  I am glad I purcahsed it.  It makes some of the old tried and true scriptural passages come to life in an exciting and interesting way without corrupting the text.  I like it.  It will not replace the NKJV for me, but it is worth the $9.99 to load to your electronic reader.  Grow in Christ!
