JSWolf : I really understand your point. I'm really really liking the H2O screen. As it's available where I live, I tried it a couple times.

I find it more "book like" to read on the Kobo, because of it's size. Manga where also easy to read and Sharp. If Kobo had the multi-device sync (for 3rd party), Wikipedia search and a more solid firmware, I'd already had bought it.

After some tests, with their respective Android app, I also find that Amazon tend to be more well formated. I converted a book and images where split on two pages on the Kobo app and not on the Amazon one. It may be because I don't know Calibre well enough though.
Images don't split across pages on the H2O. So something may not have gone correctly in the conversion. But it is fairly easy to learn what to do to fix thing using the eBook Editor built into Calibre or using Sigil. There are plenty of people here on MR who can help you with your questions.

Also, with the patches for the H2O, you can have things the way you want for an even better reading experience. The Kindle is basically fixed in place in terms of the settings unless you are lucky to get a Voyage that doesn't come with firmware version 5.6.1. You can jailbreak a Kindle other then that firmware and you can modify some things. Yes, syncing is better with Kindles. But I'd go for the H2O for the nice 6.8" screen, the settings, and the fact that it is nicer to read with (IMHO).
