Does the Kobo work with Canadian libraries as does the Sony?

I am happy with the reading experience on the Kobo e-reader and happy with the Kobo store but NOT happy with lack of the promised Bluetooth feature. I travel and do not own a laptop, so the BT feature is very attractive to me. I have just been informed by the KOBO staff, there are no plans to expand the BT feature to any phones other than the current few Blackberry models. Up until now, I was told BT is coming to other smartphones. You are better to go with the new wifi NOOK, which allows library borrowing. So far, neither Kindle or Barnes and Noble are making promises they have no intention of delivering.

I’ll have to see one to see if it is good enough to replace my Sony 505 which I’ve had for a year and a half now

I just got a Kobo!!!

OMG the back is sooo soft.

Got a white one. So pretty.

Btw, if you are a student and buy one now you can get entered into a draw for $5000 towards your tuition!

I love my Kobo eReader. It’s much nicer to lug the eReader instead of a fat or heavy novel in my purse. I find the novel prices are pretty decent (kobo prices definitely better than kindle prices). Plus there are always sales for the novels (ie. a buck or two off). I’ve heard many people like the Sony eReaders but the feel of a Kobo is much nicer with the soft quilted backing!

This is great news! I am in the market for an eReader. I had bought the new Kindle, but cancelled my order when I found out I can’t read books borrowed from the library on them. I was hesitating between the Kobo and the Sony, but with this deal, I’ll definitely buy the Kobo. Thanks!

I received one of these for my birthday. I really like how light it is. It will be great for travelling. It is really easy to load up and to use. The pages are real book sized, and it is easy on the eyes. You can change the font, which is nice. I do wish they had another option for charging it up as it only has a USB charger. I don’t plan on taking my laptop on vacation with me, so I hope it stays charged up for my whole vacation.
