The advantage of the h2o is its screen so I could read my Manga without zooming. There is also availability. I'm really tempted by the Kobo, as I could get it for 130 right now, but the voyage seems to have much more functionality. (outside formatting)
You cannot format things with Calibre. The Kindle has fixed margins and fixed line height. Those are fixed in most cases. The only way to change the line height is to embed my modified version of Charis SIL. Otherwise, the line height remains fixed. Some people have been complaining that the font sizes available on the kindle are too limited as in one size is too small and the next up is too large.

What you have to decide is if syncing is more important or is being able to have the text on screen look as you want more important.
