I ordered a Kobo eReader from our Shopping Channel in Canada. It arrived on Wednesday and I have had a chance to use it for a couple of days. I love it!!!
It's this model:

I wanted the silver but they were sold out, so I picked the mauve.
It came with a brown leather book cover with a built in light, to protect the reader and make it feel more like you are reading an actual book.
It's taken a bit to get used to the touch screen. This model does not have a back light to the reader, which I like because I find my eyes get super tired from looking at a bright screen. If I need more light I just turn on the one that comes with the book cover.
It's taken some time but I finally managed to convert file types and transfer the files from my compaq mini to the Kobo. I didn't mind reading on my mini, but the lid and keyboard were a pain, plus this is small enough to fit into my purse and I can take it with me.
