Since your wife has your Kobo, getting a Kindle would be a very bad idea as they are incompatible. You would be better off with another device that handles ePub be it a Kobo, Sony, B&N, or even an iPad2. I do sometimes use my iPad to read with and I use Bluefire Reader as it works better then iBooks (overall). There are a couple of things vs an eink reader. The iPad is larger, header, and not as easy to hold in one hand. The ability to do so many other things with an iPad could be a distraction (if you get easily distracted). Oh and an iPad is poor in sunlight. The screen just gets very washed out. Plus, the battery life between charges is not as good as an eink reader.
But if all that doesn't bother you, then get an iPad. But if you want an eink reader, get one that uses ADE, having am incompatible reader is going to just be more of a hassle then it's worth. The Kindle won't handle ePub and you will have to strip DRM and convert. And it's a hassle to do so using Amazon's tools. Calibre doesn't convert ePub to KF8 yet.
The Kindle app for the iPad suffers from marginaphobia. It's afraid to get anywhere near the sides of the bezel.
