You could be right on that. To me Kobo is in a very strong position on the e-reader side: higher res, front light, more font size/spacing/type options, epub capable. Yes Kindle has the people that are tied into their ecosystem (or at least unwilling to free their stuff from it), but unless the device is a real dog when it actually comes out, it whips anything Sony or B&N currently have on the market and runs well with the Kindle. It will be interesting to see how it all settles out.
