"Every time I pick this thing up though I can’t help think about that future-of-the-book stuff. The annoying what-if stuff. Like, what if ebooks were just a little better? What if the physical design of the Kobo was a little more Teenage Engineering and less generic, throw-away-able plastic? Where is the fun in the interface? Where is the (ugh) delight in the heft of this thing as an object? Why can’t I quickly pull in every book from Project Gutenberg? Why can’t I navigate the web but in a super-focused, monochromatic way?"
