That was my type of comparison article. It's well-reasoned and presents the author's values, taking us on a detailed illustrated tour through the features. As a Kindle Paperwhite 2 owner, everything said about that device fit my experience also, so I confidently trusted the author's views on the Kobo.

One problem I saw was the emphasis on Kobo's support for Pocket, when it seemed that a direct Send-to-Kindle service would suffice for the author's needs, or even be superior because of Kobo's less reliable Pocket support. Since the Amazon version of Send to Kindle isn't supported on Safari, why not try something else that is supported on Safari, like this? It's been very reliable for me on Chrome, even more reliable than the Kindle version.

I also use a paid Android app "Push to Kindle" to send articles from my phone. Reading its home page, it seems it also has a desktop/laptop version that works on Safari, so there's another choice too, though I haven't used that one on the desktop (perhaps it isn't totally free?).

A shame about the Voyage not being available in Canada, because for U.S. readers, there's an expectation in an article entitled "Kindle vs. Kobo" that we'll see the Voyage in the comparison. Once it adds the Voyage, I suspect it will be the go-to comparison I'd recommend to anyone thinking of buying a new e-reader.
