I take back any recommendations I have made on here for Kobos! Mine is so glitchy after six months' use and googling seems to show it is a common problem.
I have quite a few books stored, should I be able to convert to a format a kindle is happy with?
Thanks.
PS: if so, which Kindle would everyone recommend? Preferably one with a backlight and long battery life (read a negative review about the paperwhite in that repect).
