Kobo eReader Touch (Black)
I got one of these in the UK from WH Smith for Christmas 2011.  I wanted a Kindle and read reviews of the Kobo and was nervous about screen clarity, reliability, page turn speed and other things.  Well I have played with the Touch for 3 days now and I absolutely love it.  There is a new release of the software which is updated automatically when you log onto the Kobo site and it seems to have fixed all the complaints.  The screen clarity is great, the touchscreen works very well and the web browser is excel
