Kobo really does need to get their butts into gear because I really can see the new Kindle offerings hurting them in the long run.

Well, not really. This is the natural leapfrogging that occurs in a healthy, competitive market. The new Kobos that come out next year will top these new Kindles, just as the new Kindles 1.5 years from now will top next year's Kobos, etc etc ad infinitum.
As much as we don't like seeing negative market pressure on the horse we all picked, it's definitely good for consumers to have such an active, dynamic ereader ecosystem. We will get better and better offerings for a fair price, with improvements coming quickly as innovators strive for the upper-hand.
