The Kindle Paperwhite 1st gen. is my first and only ereader. I’m looking into getting myself a Kobo ereader. I have the 6” Aura in mind and so I’d like to hear from someone who owns both the Paperwhite and Aura; which do you use more? Is there any particular reason why you prefer one over the other?

For Kobo users, I have a couple of general questions. Do side-loaded ebooks purchased from Amazon and other online ebook stores show up/look fine on the Kobo (layout, page numbers, book covers, etc.)? Will TypeGenius work with non Kobo ebooks? I’m aware of Alf’s tools so DRM won’t be an issue.

Kobo is not available in my region. However, I have a US address and I can use that, but will I be able to actually use the Kobo Aura even though it’s not available here? Any features that won’t work (Reading Life)?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
