I have both a Kindle and a Kobo e reader, both have their pros and cons. The Kobo has a built in light, which is useful, the touch screen does not operate the usual way as it can be operated when wearing gloves. However it does not perform page turning well, at times it jumps page/pages other times is goes back instead of forward. I like the Kindle as it has switches to operate it which is more sure than the Kobo method. Now I have thought of getting a more modern Kindle with a touch screen, as they have internal lights. However is the page control with the touch screen spot on?
