I have a Kobo Touch, but in general I agree with James. Nice hardware, software is another matter. I am currently particularly annoyed about the bad search engine on Kobo, because I was trying to find buy links for the Hugo nominees, and then buy links for my own book. I have a new book out. I know exactly what its bibliographic details are. I had to resort to looking for it via Google to find it on the Kobo site. In fact, that's how I often look for books on the Kobo site. I try to buy there rather than Amazon when I can, but they make it difficult...
The search feature on the Kobo store is so sadistic it has to be intentional.
When I wanted to buy an Ian Macdonald book, and typed "Ian Macdonald Luna New Moon", it didn't display the book I wanted until the THIRD PAGE of results. It's better now, but is still bad.
