Kobo eReader

Kobo eReader. I had not even heard of this one. Seems it's connected with Borders.

It seems slower than Kindle 3. But it has a couple of points which I think is better interface. It has a big rubber control pad. Kindle still has the buttons on the side. They are smaller now, but it's still hard to handle it without clicking them accidentally. Not great. And I like the Kobo's fast way of changing text size (even though it should have more than five sizes).

The textured-rubber back is also a good idea. (Review.) That and the rather button-free front should make it easier to hold than either the Kindle or iPad.
