This probably isn't a killer, but its always interesting to get a overview from many people to see if they like the device or not. I think you covered most of my questions in your review. It almost seems that I need to decide which one I like the looks better. KOBO is nice and clean although the blue button looks weird, and the sony looks a little cluttered in comparison. I think this is the best value for the money out there currently.

Otherwise, the Kobo reader looks great! Originally Posted by ficbot. I've used it. I had a review unit in my hands for about two weeks and posted a full review and walk-through here. What questions did you have? Originally Posted by maxbookworm. I guess I read a lot of txt-converted files that don't have a TOC.

But you have a good point. If there's a TOC, then not being able to type in page numbers is not that big of a deal. Originally Posted by foghat. If you are reading on different devices, chances are page 10 on one device is not the same as page 10 on the other device - especially if you are going from an ipod screen to a kobo screen. If I am reading an epub on my iphone with 'large' font selected, how can there be a relationship page wise if I am also reading the same book on an 8.

HarryT forgot to mention that ADE readers display those "page" numbers along the right side the Sony also puts them in the footer , so that's what you see.
