JB Hi-Fi was selling these for $99, but got one for half-price. Smallest Kobo ever at 5". Touchscreen, 2GB memory, 1000mAh built-in battery, 800MHz processor, and WiFi. First off, a bit smaller than I expected. Screen resolution is very good. It's very light, which is a very important factor if you're going to be holding it for extended periods of time. Page-turning is a bit slow, and the WiFi is unstable. Tried to do an OTA firmware upgrade and got stuck at 4%. Had to complete the upgrade and registration process via a PC using kobosetup.com. Not too many free, quality ebooks from the bookstore, but I guess it's not a problem if you know where to get your ebooks.
For some reason, sideloading ebooks via drag-and-drop doesn't work. The epub files are physically on the internal storage, but not showing up on the book list. Had to use Calibre for the job.
