  I have had my e reader for three days. I already have ten books on it. I was confused to how to put the books on the ereader at first and it took me a while to figure it out. I am happy with my ereader and I am glad I bought it.

  Very disappointed! Bought this 2 weeks ago, from the moment I turned it on the virtual keyboard didn't work properly, so I was unable to download via wi-fi. I contacted Kobo help as directed by Borders on the same day as receiving, has taken 2 weeks and several emails for Kobo to tell me that it is "faulty" and to post it to Victoria at my expense. They will replace it with a new or refurbished model at equal value. Honestly after all the time and expense to date on my part I may as well have thrown it out.

  I received my Kobo Touch about a week ago from Borders Online and initially loved it but have had massive trouble with it. From the start it kept freezing and needing to be restarted and as I'm a big reader and I was at the "good bit" of my book I was longing for it to be back in print not electronic!
  
  Finally it gave up completely, would not respond to a basic reset, then as the Home Button was inoperable could not do a factory reset. I've been in email/website form touch with Support and I'm told to try an external reset which I have instructions for and will do tonight after work.
  
  However if that fails I'm told it's up to them whether they will give me a refund or exchange. I find this very difficult to accept. Surely after all this trouble I should be able to nominate myself that I want a refund or exchange. It's only 1 week old.
  
  I can't find a phone number to talk to a person about it all which is frustrating from the perspective of receiving customer service.
  
  Consequently I have to give the Kobo Touch a "thumbs down".

  I'm really happy with this purchase. Having really loved the feel of paper and being a hoarder of way too many books, I wasn't sure if I would like this, but it's actually pretty cool. I like how it doesn't have a backlit display, so you don't drain your eyes out while looking at it. They really try to make it look like paper and do a great job of it. The speed while browsing the shop is better than I expected. The only downside is that sometimes when I press to turn a page it has a delayed response, or no response at all. the touch screen isn't very sensitive. But apart from this tiny flaw, and for the price compared to other ereaders out there, this is definitely a good buy. Borders customer support is also really good if you come across any issues.
