You come across as biased and angry, which makes your statements unconvincing. In what universe 375g device is easier to hold (with 1 hand) than 215g I have no idea, esp. keeping in mind that kobo has buttons for easy scrolling with one hand. You also miss the point, that limited functionality of readers is feature not bug. It massively reduces impulse to start browsing youtube etc. All together, price, weight, battery time and limited functionality is what makes the whole proposition attractive. I personaly do not need yet another androd tab even for free.

The Kobo has a thinner side and harder and sharper edges than the Y700 with the rubber case. Personally I'm not overly distracted by android apps when I'm reading a good book, but YMMV. My Kobo doesn't have any buttons. It also forces me to go on wifi and make a Kobo account to use the device at all (even if I'm just interested in copying epubs). In short and honestly after 5 years of ownership: fuck Kobo and and fuck ereaders in general.
