Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not complaining about the Kobo and of the two it's the one I use on a daily basis, it would just be nice if as well as being functionally better than the Kindle it was as well polished a product as the Kindle.

Actually you should not compare the price of the 3G model.
I paid €130 for the K3 (in 2010) and €99 for the Kobo Touch (in 2012).
And the Kobo Touch has a stronger processor than the K3 and is powered at more Mhz (800 vs 532). Same for Kobo Touch as Kindle Touch.
The hardware of the Kobo Touch is pretty good. The software (firmware) is more or less a joke (but the Kindle one has its flaws too)
