My partner just bought this and is very happy with it, from what she read the only serious alternative was a Remarkable. The gist was go for the Kobo if it's primarily e-reader and note taking second and for the Remarkable if it's the other way round.
Thanks! The price difference is pretty substantial as well...
I think most "note taking" I do is highlighting and few words at most so perhaps the Kobo would work fine. But I do want note taking to be a feature, unlike my old Kindle 3g where, even with the keyboard, it ended up being useless.
