I bought the Kobo e-reader on pre-order in April and was so excited when it showed up at the beginning of May. I thought I was totally against e-readers at first but I am so hooked on my Kobo now. I love the portability of it, and the fact that I can carry so many ‘books’ with me at the same time!
The picture I’ve used here is the newer, wireless version of the Kobo. Mine is non-wireless but that’s just fine with me. I read most of my books these days on it and have, sadly, neglected the books I was reading before I got my Kobo (but I’m trying to fix that!).
If you’re considering getting an e-reader, I would really recommend this if you don’t want to spend a ton of money or get something that does a zillion other things. If you’re just looking for an e-reader, this is the one to get!

Thanks for the info on your Kobo. I’m still not sure I could ever read a book without actually holding it, but the ability to “carry” so many books at once does appeal to me. May have to re-examine this situation.
I understand – that’s why I didn’t think I’d like e-reading. I didn’t think I could ever enjoy reading without feeling the book and the pages in my hands, but e-reading solves my lack of space solution – I just didn’t have any room for any more books – and I was hooked on it right away. I also find that the price for e-books is often less than what it costs to buy in-store, which is another plus!
