Haven't tried the Kobo wireless but own both the original Kobo and the Libre and prefer the Libre, haven't noticed speed differences in loading off Calibre or ADE, but the Libre is much more satisfactory for page turns. I was never able to get Borders to actually sell me a Libre at their advertised price, they'd say "no, that's mail only, when the coupon said in store only... very frustrating."

I went to several Ultimate Electronics stores and bought up their stock at an average of $65 (two at $70, two at $60). So far I love the Libre, although it does look like Borders is dropping them, OTOH-- you may be able to pick one up at a real good price if the whole Borders chain goes away.
