Is Kobo any good? Yes, the new slightly oversize one is the only e-ink e-reader to get. Unless you want to go to the really big ones like the DX, and there are one or two variants of that. The Kobo is fast, incredible definition, open standards, and the extra screen area makes all the differe

For what it's worth, my figures are that ebooks are a little over twice the sales of printed books. Mark has some valid points about DRM, but my thinking is that I didn't do the book to make any money. If a bunch of Print users buy the book, and a significant number of ebook users actually pay,
