Cons: No audio port or folder view on either of these. No expandable storage slot on the Kindle. No epub support on the Kindle. Buggy software on the Kobo.

The Kindle Paperwhite is definitely the easiest to get being in the USA and is probably the cheapest but I think the actual hardware of the Kobo and Packetbook is better.
as a kobo owner let me tell you that the biggest drawback is NOT in the buggy software, but in the pdf rendering. Pocketbook is really excellent in this respect. Not sure about kindle, but with kobo you cannot annotate, you cannot look up words in the dictionary. With a pocketbook model with touch capabilities you can even take hand free notes (admittedly, not the best quality, but workable).
