I hear what you were saying about having the PW or Aura to test the resolution of covers but I can't really see there ever being any issue with the covers. What sort of issue might you identify on an e-reader?
And I'm leaning toward the Kindle because of this deal I ran into with the PRS300. Seems if I do buy commercial ebooks chances are it will be from Amazon. And the epubs I get from other places I can just convert in Calibre and plop them on the Kindle.

The thing with the 300 is that it does not have full justification. And there are a number of bugs that have since been fixed in RMDSK 10 (equivalent to ADE 3) which is what the Kobo uses in firmware 3.12.0. So, the Aura will show you the text like most people will see it with a newer version of ADE (or RMDSK). Because the Aura has a resolution of 1024x758, you can test any graphics in an ePub to make sure they are readable. And you can sideload fonts to be able to see what they look like before embedding if you do want to embed any.
