I've been wanting to try out the world of eReading for a while.
A small device that can hold 1000s of books, reads like printed paper and
the cost of a book can be as little as $0.99 and even on new releases
the price of the ebook version is almost always less than the printed version.

Two days ago I got an email from Chapters/Indigo, saying that
until Monday, September 6, 2010, the kobo eReader will be
selling for $128, down from the normal retail price of $149.

I have no idea if there is a similar price drop in the US (available at Borders).

Thus I decided to pick one up. I got the black one, the blue d-pad on the "Porcelain" white one didn't do nothing for me.

So far so good, I'm really liking it, and I didn't even have to buy any eBooks to get started, as it comes preloaded with 100 free classic eBooks, from Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll to War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.
