It's time to replace our Kindle Keyboards, but I'm waffling between Paperwhite and Kobo Aura HD. Obviously I could buy one of each, but I'd rather not get two different readers and have to deal with two ecosystems. I would have already bought Auras if Kobo supported landscape mode (since my husband prefers reading that way). The new Paperwhite has probably tipped the balance in its favour, but manually doing collections on the Paperwhite (after being able to use the collections plugin for calibre with the KK) will be a drag.

I'll take another look at the Kobo devices on display at Chapters once I'm back in the city and wait for the reviews on the new Paperwhite before buying anything, no rush since the KK's are still functioning.
