Kobo reminds me of some Nokia phones that never work "right". They are always fixing bugs...I have had those phones and it was a headache. If other companies can make their phones and e-readers work I don't see why these can't.
Just for kicks I had a look at the Kindle forum on here to see if the grass really is greener on the other side. I found people having the following problems:

Kindle keeps reindexing books which runs the battery down fast
WiFi issues
Bricked Kindle
Books vanishing
Can't see files on the Kindle through Windows
Kindle been black-listed

This was just in the first few pages of the Kindle forum. Admittedly some of these problems were user created and easily fixed, but I think that you can't really say that nobody every has a problem with a Kindle.
