I have both a Kobo Vox and a RIM PlayBook and I much prefer the latter for ereading and everything else.
Both support Overdrive for Canadian library books and Kobo ereader app for purchasing books from Kobo.
I'd recommend the Playbook as it's much faster and just operates very slick in general. They are both $200 for the base version but I'd recommend paying the extra $50 for the 32G version - you'll need it if you have many movies and songs to store as it has no external SD card slot.
It's not exactly running Android but it has good synch with GMail, Google Calendar, etc now.. so I don't really notice the difference.
