I might be grabbing an e-ink device soon, and at the moment I'm trying to choose between a Kobo Touch and a Kindle Touch. I'm leaning towards the Kobo Touch mostly due to Reading Life, the price point and .epub compatibility, but I just want to make sure that I'm not overlooking any major points.

Both readers, from my understanding, have the features that I want - wi-fi, basic shelving capabilities and a dedicated store. The Kindle Touch is more physically appealing, though, and I have heard that it has a marginally stronger battery life?

Is there anything specific I should consider about either device when choosing between them?
