You should take into consideration that if you buy Kindle, you buy into a closed format system. Personally I would never do that, even if it was the only e-reader on the planet.
I have no personal experience with Kobo products, but at least they use an open format system.
Perhaps you should also take into consideration the upcoming Onyx Boox Firefly (it will get released this month).
This reader is also open format and it supports virtually everything you might ever want to read on an e-reader, including comics.
The price might at first seem high, but it includes a 16 Gb memory card, protective cover, USB data cable and USB charger out of the box. So the price is actually very competitive for what it offers.
Furthermore it features 8 Gb internal memory!!!! which is unique and also a Hires screen, frontlighting, audio jack, TTS etc.
Also their annotation system is said to be very sophisticated.
I personally am considering the Onix Firefly as my next reader now.
