Independent sources (see above) say the Kobo is lighter. But it's close.
Online stuff: I just checked my email on my K3. Kobo: hmm.
The K3 is slimmer, but a tad bigger (maybe 1/4" wider and longer). As above, heavier. I prefer the rubber back of the Kobo.
The Kobo is far more my mother's ereader. I'm a bit of a fiddler, so the K3 is my preference. All those extra keys are worth something... like typing and bookmarking and commenting and stuff.
Book load time? Pillars of the Earth, Kobo: 10 seconds. K3: sub-one-second.
Font change time? Kobo: 10 seconds, multiple keypresses. K3: instantaneous.
