I do envy you that you have enough choices to make the Kobo pale in comparison. However, many people overseas don't have such choices, and for some, buying a competitively priced ereader with a bricks and mortar presence and local support is even better than ordering a Kindle from the USA. This is putting aside the fact that the original Kobo already provides a pretty decent reading experience, although it's possible you would disagree.

Could not agree more. Some members tend to forget that some avid readers of ebooks do not have choice, have to buy overseas for their ereaders and pay premium prices even so. We have four ereaders in this house. Three of them were sourced from overseas which saved me a lot of money and those three do not have valid warranties, because I live in Australia.
The Kobo does and has a damn fine support system for it.
It is also a very good ereader.
