I'd second the suggestion to at least consider the Aura HD. It does still 'suffer' from Kobo firmware updates (but not everyone has problems with the firmware/bugs) and you won't get the superior customer support Amazon provides, but the Aura HD appears to be a far better bit of hardware than the Aura. If you like the slightly bigger screen - it is still pretty small overall despite the increased screen size - it is worth considering.
However, if you are happy to convert your epubs, unless you particularly want to avoid Amazon, the last comment in the post ProfCrash has just made is exactly why the Kindle is such a big seller.
