This is a very interesting thread.
For my part, I attempted to order a Kobo Glo refurb from the Kobo site today, and after three attempts where my credit card provider approved the sale but Kobo said it failed authorization, I gave up and ordered a refurb Kindle Paperwhite.
I figure I can convert my epubs with Calibre, and at least Amazon has decent customer service. I've had Kindles before, so I'm familiar with them.
It's a shame--I have a Kobo Mini that I really like, and I prefer epubs for archiving, but this is why Amazon owns the e-book market in the USA. At least they'll take my money.
