I can't really say anything nice about this product. It broke down within a month of buying it and I had to deal with their customer service which is a pain to say the least. They finally sent us a replacement Kobo which turned out to be a refurbished unit. This unit also did not work. We are frustrated and will never buy another Kobo product. (read more)

Not yet found if I can load non Kobo eBooks. Beware in the UK eBooks carry 20% VAT, whereas paper books are zero rated.
