For reading, an eReader is way better, IMO, than any tablet or laptop. You _can_ read on a tablet or laptop. But the experience really isn't comparable to a dedicated eReader.
The issue you will have to deal with is that Kobo and Amazon/Kindle use different file formats, and both have DRM. Personally, I have ZERO problem with removing DRM to shift formats on books I've paid for. None. And the process is frankly trivial. It takes longer to describe it than to do it. So, that being said, you should simply decide on which eReader you prefer -- the Kobo Touch or any of the Kindle models. Personally, I'm still a fan of the Kindle Keyboard, but I can understand the appeal of the Touch for some people. Overall, I find the Kindle experience superior, especially the buying experience. (I buy from both Kindle and Kobo -- Kindle for all books that I can get in their US store, and Kobo for Canadian content I can't get in the US Kindle store.)
