I'd suggest a less confrontational type approach than you seem to want to take....

Maybe that's because the Kobo's have a lot more problems that the Nooks have, and that the Kobo's have greater appeal to the geeks that the Nooks have.
In much of the English speaking world (and elsewhere I suspect) the average person on the street might have heard of Barnes and Noble and recognise that they have been in the book business for a long time. Most of those same people would have never heard of Kobo.
If they did any research they'd find Kobo is controlled by a Japanese oligarch who as far as I know never owned a real book store. He owns things like a Spanish internet streaming tv service, on-line shopping 'malls' etc. The sort of thing that appeals to geeks - but not necessarily to non-geeks, it may even bore them to tears.
