I bought this as a replacement for a Kindle as part of a general move away from Amazon. Happy with the choice of books available and the ability to work with ePubs from other sources via third party libraries such as Calibre.On the plus side the reading experience is similar to Kindle (in a good way) and the UI is IMO better in terms of accessing menus and general navigation. The colour option is nice but the automatic adjustment of colour temperature to ambient light is distracting as it changes without warning and I had to turn it off. It's lighter in weight than a Kindle and feels flimsier but due to the lightness is also more comfortable to read so swings/roundabouts. My bigger gripe though is glitches -in the short time since I've had it, I've had an "unable to access next page" glitch and a complete freeze, both only fixable by rebooting (which lost the place in the book). Both of these are with a native KePub format book bought from the Kobo store. I never had anything like it with a Kindle. I intend to persevere with it in the hope that these are one offs and/or I have been unlucky - without the glitches it would be an extra star, maybe two.
