    I have never even heard of a kobo reader... and have absolutely NO idea what on earth it could possibly be.

    I am back to the keyboard.

    It is sold as an eReader, which means you can read eBooks on it. It is a colour touchscreen computer with a slow processor and wireless, which allows you to use the internet on the go with a screen that is better than a mobile phone.

    It's more heavy than the kindle, not quite as easy to use, but you can use it to watch youtube video's on, or read cookery / gardening / illustrated books.

    It's Ok. Think I prefer the kindle for reading books (with the kindle, I think the technology becomes invisible... you're just reading. With the Kobo, it#s got a bad case of computeritis with it doing things for you and a touch screen that is weirdly sensitive when you don't want it to be, and weirdly insensitive when all you want to do is click the d****n link).

    I didn't buy it. It got given to me. It's almost like a PDA that has been retooled to read books on.

    I've had plenty of hallucinations coloured like that........(never involving footwear).

    New subject .... been meaning to ask this for some time, then was recently very annoyed and so finally got round to the question of the NPs....

    A lot of you are fitting kitchens (some of you many times) and a lot of you have kitchens you like ..... how high is your worktop? I've recently started finding that kitchen worktops are too high, they're almost boob height.

    I've measured the one I have here and it's OK at 88cm, but I think the annoying ones I am coming across are about 100cm.

    So ... do you have a biggun?

    Edit: Just had a quick google, it looks like 90cm is supposed to be standard.

    Could depend on the thickness of the worktop or hight of legs but mine is 36" to the top of the worktop.

    I'm not sure of the amount of adjustment in the legs but it may be possible to use a narrower plinth and have the legs lower, not sure though.
