But if you buy your books, then it's a matter of the better bookstore etc. Makes it easier to choose. I love the Aura, the light is great, the fonts & sizes are good. I have no complaints, it does what it is supposed to do and delivers my stories without the big heavy bookbag to tote around.
The reason for my choice of a Kobo when I was updating my ereader was that it used epub which was supported by almost every ebook store I looked at and was supported by the local libaries. At that time, quite a few ebook stores did not support AZW. I also found the tools to allow me to play with epubs were superior to the tools for any of the Amazon formats -- compare Sigil to MobiPocket as an example.
