Question Kindle 3 vs Kobo

Hello everyone,

I have a Kindle 2i which I will be returning soon and I have preordered a Kindle 3 (3G + WiFi). However, I recently found out that my local public library has ebooks. The ability to get my ebooks for free from the library would be great, since I usually buy my books, finish them within a week, and never read them again. So, now I'm thinking about canceling my Kindle 3 preorder and going into my local Borders to purchase a Kobo. I used to have the nook, but I could only squeeze about 4 days out of the battery with airplane mode on and minimal use of the touchscreen. So I returned that in favor of the Kindle's battery life. But now the Kobo seems to fit my needs perfectly. The only real advantage that I see the Kindle having over the Kobo is the new Pearl screen. I really could do without connectivity if all I'm going to do is get my ebooks from the library off of my computer.

What do you guys think I should do?
