Thanks for the responses. Turns out the Rabbit books are $13.99 each ($58 for the 4 books) on Amazon so even with the additional features such as syncing, etc. and ease of buying, I just can't justify the $26 price difference to myself. With the discount codes I used with Kobo, I bought the 4 books for a total of $31.00. I have some issues with the formatting and conversion (page breaks). But I could live with them.

I have a friend though who insists on buying only from Amazon even though I mentioned the codes and price difference to him. I don't fully get it. I told him to try to convince me to do the same. Because really, I want to buy from just one store. I want to buy books using only my device and wifi. I want my highlights and notes backed up. I want immaculate formatting. But do those features amount to almost 50% of the price? I'm still not convinced.
