I like my Kobo but Amazon has so many more things built into their reader, like MP3 player, Audio book player, faster page turns, Internet browser, 3G, Notes and multiple bookmarks. I think Kobo really has to get on the ball and create a reader that is a little more like the Kindle (maybe without the Keyboard though I've heard those can be annoying)
the kobo may be wiped from the states but us canadians don't have many other options and it does what it needs to do. the kindle has been pulled from canada i believe. i could be wrong so don't quote me on anything but i remember the kindle being available to purchase then not.
