At least in my mind your choice is between different ebook stores. Different ebook readers are tied to different book stores. My recommendation is to go to amazon.com and kobo.com and get a sense of the ebook prices of the sort of books that you would want to read cost. Enter the name of a few authors whose books you have read recently and note the prices, then go to another book store and do the same and see who has the lower cost on the sorts of books you read.
The only big difference, as far as I can see it, is amazon offers a program called Kindle Unlimited (KU) where for $10 per month you get unlimited reading of anu KU books. You most likely will not find a program like that elsewhere, however that is only valuable if you read two or more books per month. If you are like me who goes to the public library and reads their entire library in a month then goes off looking for more then KU is a cost effective way to keep a lid on the cost of the books and the restriction to the KU inventory is not a real big thing.
Amazon tends to compete based on price in other words by selling books at a lower price then their competition.
I have not personally evaluated a Kobo, however people that have Kindles and Kobos have told me that the quality is about the same and the quality is comperable so the best method of selection may be to wait for when either Kobo or Amazon puts their readers on sale.
