No, nothing like as simple as Kobo when you want to read
another ebook. Also a Kobo is ONLY for reading.
I agree, if you have a decent app like Lithium or Pocketbook all setup, or even KOReader, it makes little difference on a book you are on the middle of reading, if you only hit sleep button.
Android value is in doing many things.
I've had Android back to V3. I have an eink Android.
I've had Kindles (PW1, DXG, K3, Basic, PW3, Oasis 2) and Kobos (Touch, H2O original, Libra, Libra2, Elipsa, Sage).
Symbian phones, inc the better than later Communicator N9210i
Palm OS.
CP/M, DOS, Gem, Amiga, Atari, PCW8512, UNIX, Minix, Cromix, Windows 2.0 to Win98, OS/2, OS/2 Warp, NT 3.5 to Windows 10, Linux. Mac OS/9, iPhone.
R&D on two handheld products.
Reading ebooks since 2002.
For purely consuming real ebooks, Android is rubbish (even on eink) compared to a Kobo with native reader.
