The Kobo ereader

I took advantage of the fact that Borders is closing some of their stores to finally delve into the realm of ereaders. I picked up a Kobo ereader for $60, which was a real bargain. I have so many books that my shelves are overflowing and I have books lining the floor. It's a big mess. Therefore it's nice to have a unit that sort of acts like an iPod of books. I can store hundreds (and if I get an SD card, thousands) of books on this unit. Nothing beats having a book in your hand (and I read a lot of nonfiction which sometimes involves flipping back and forth between text and endnotes) but it was nice on a long bus ride like I took today to have to only carry this little and very light ereader. The Kobo also comes with a hundred classics already preloaded so I was able to reread Sun Tzu's Art of War. Add in something like a nine hour lasting battery and this unit was quite a steal at $60!
