KoBo eReader - Review

If anyone is thinking of purchasing a KoBo eReader, my advice is don't, for the following reasons:

• Their books are more expensive than Kindle (Amazon)
• Their website is slow and clunky
• Site is not user friendly
• No magazines
• Will only accept PayPal
• You can only purchase their eBooks (KoBo)
• Don't have full range, e.g. only 2 of the Millennium Trilogy (at time of writing)
• Only have about 50  'free' books but millions of them!

Sorry to be so negative but the eReader unit is a big bag manure.
The user experience maybe different in other parts of the world but in New Zealand we are forced to go through Whitcoulls (NZ Bookstore chain) that is hanging on by its fingernails.(financial probs)
The question is, why should a local retailer control what I can read or purchase?.
