More Borders Kobo Details/Criticisms

Check here: "So what does the Kobo eReader have over the Kindle and Nook? Price. The Kindle and Nook retail for $249, close to $100 more than the new Kobo eReader. Furthermore, we can also expect their ebooks to be priced on the lower end of the scale since Borders is trying to keep the overall cost for consumer to a minimum. However that is as far as it goes when it comes to advantages. It pretty much goes downhill from there. For starters the Kobo Reader only offers eight shades of gray whereas the Kindle does sixteen. When it comes to transfer, the Kobo eReader has Bluetooth support and doesn't do Wi-Fi or 3G. There is still some hope for the Kobo eReader if the Kobo library offers a good selection of ebooks at low prices. OZCAR guesses that since the screen size is similar between all three devices and Kobo has decided to slash its price by leaving out some features many consumers could do without, this would make it an ideal gift."
