I wonder if there's a certain e-reader demographic.
Most of us here seem to like both the simplicity of the kobo, and the library books. We're sort of the bare-bones e-readers types- we just want to read, and preferably for free. We probably frequent paper-book libraries in real life, too, vs. buying copies to keep, or we buy books for cheap from second-hand bookstores (I know I do).
But I bet there's the high-tech e-reader types who are eager to snap up the latest hot-off-the-press ebooks from Amazon, and the more bells & whistles they have on their e-readers, the better. Different strokes for different folks.

Maybe a really tech-savvy MR person could build a questionnaire that matches you up with the perfect e-reader, based on your preferences in other areas of life... (perhaps there's a correlation between your favourite hot drink and your preferred e-reader?).
