Hmm... Yah, I agree with samuelong87 that the layout looks so similar to kobo.

However, with so many features that this reader has in comparison with kobo, undoubtedly the price is more expensive..

With $400 price tag, and looks similar to existing ones in the market, i won't bother to look at it.
