Being from Canada I am leaning towards the Kobo Aura, but have heard that there are build quality issues and that most Kobos only last about 18 months.

Kobo appears more readily open than Kindle, but Kindle appears to be pretty much the global standard .... I was thinking of the PW2. My problem is I can not get a definitive answer on which is the better investment. I know Amazon has an extensive library and may even have the potential for the Lending Library in Canada .... But the Kindle is not as open as the Kobo.

That said, with all the talk about Kindle, how long will Kobo be around .... So I am stuck. Any help will be appreciated ...

Take a look at PocketBooks. You have to order them from the EU, but they are great devices. I am ordering an Ink Pad when they are released in a few weeks.
