    Bluetooth page turner is nice but at this point I have zero interest in a Kindle unless I can load KOReader on it. I might buy one of these if they go on a sale and leave it in a drawer until it's jailbroken. I love my PW5 (jailbroken) but I'd buy a Kobo if they had a 7" screen (Clara) since that's easier to get KOReader on.

      Years ago I had a kobo and put kohreader on it. But I left it on a bus and got a kindle Paperwhite as a replacement. I definitely regret that and second this comment: kohreader is such a superior experience. I'll never again get an ereader that can't run it.

        If it's a years old paperwhite I'm sure you can run it :). Only the latest model is difficult.

          Maybe you're right. It definitely wasn't possible a couple of years ago but I'll look into it again, thanks.
