They look very similar and I would like to get one or the other now that my Sony is on it's way out.

My hangup with the Kindle PW2 is no epub support. I know I can convert with Calibre, but it's a pain and it's just the principle of the matter. They don't support epub because they want you to be "locked in" to the Kindle so-to-speak. I hate proprietary stuff.

My hangup with the Kobo Aura HD is I'm unsure of the quality of the Kobo reader and I don't know if I like the fact that the back of it isn't flat (according to the pictures on the Kobo website).

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Cheers,
John
