To answer that list:
-I work in a University library and use my public library fairly often for print books. That may transfer over to ebooks, but I won't be limited to electronic only.
-I like free books and mostly read fantasy, historical fiction and classics. I'll end up getting these from whatever source is cheapest at the time.
-I am computer savvy and doubt I'll have any problems with the file type conversion, DRM stripping and side loading processes. If I've read the information right, it's not hard to convert epub to mobi and vice versa.
-I have a very tiny library of epubs, but mostly free public domain books that I can get again easily or convert if I need to.
From what I can tell, please correct me if I'm wrong, either eReader will do the job once I get comfortable with Calibre and it's plugins. It may simply come down to touch screen vs buttons (I've tried the Kobo but not a Kindle yet) and which one is more durable. I'll be honest, the Kobo forums here make it seem like the touch has a lot of defects and I want to avoid a dead eReader within a year.
