However, at the same time, the Kindle's are also the ones with that have the least software problems, and are among the best (maybe the best) supported by Calibre; you can set your own page counts, conversion to AZW is about perfect, and all of the Kindle's features work without any jacking around.
That cannot be said for Kobo's "we want our own format toohoo!" KEPUB. Both the EPUB and KEPUB renderers have one or more problems that I don't care for; either some features of the reader don't work (EPUB), or it renders in a way I don't like, wasting space in headers and footers (KEPUB).
In the end, if I compare e-readers, the Kindle is the best of the worst. The really good readers with loads of options are only available for tablets, which is the reason why I'd really *REALLY* like an Android e-ink tablet.

Kindle has the least software problems *because* they are among the dumbest ereaders. If your ereader has very few choices it shouldn't have many problems. Except of course not being usable to those who don't care for the defaults.
