+1 on this. Amazon is a lot slicker and better integrated than Kobo. Plus the Kobo website in general is not as good - you can't see ratings and reviews of books! New books get announced for preorder when they're available on Amazon but not Kobo, some books are never available on Kobo, etc.
That said, I switched because Kobo gives a kickback to my local indie book store so I don't feel like I'm killing BookPeople even though I no longer buy dead trees.
