I have the Kobo light and would not go anywhere without it. It is the best invention since sliced bread. I can downloard books from many sites at a push of a button. I can read anywhere, any time. I can set my download choices to my preferred genre and are many free books available out there. When I use my background light, the battery does not last as long but always have my charger handy and charge my Kobo while I am reading or when I am not reading. The Again, I purchased my Kobo at Amazon.ca so it was quite affordable.

I have the kobo mini, it was a little tricky to set up and to download books online from the internet (library website)
