- If you want to read under water or in the bath tub the Kobo Aura HD H2O is the only thing in town
- If you want choices of different models of ereaders thatn Kobo is the best way to go, amazon has only three models available, Kobo has a lot more than that.
The prime features I hear people saying about their Kobos is the fine control you can have over fonts, display, formatting; and the open nature and tweakability of the device.

Also Calibre-controlled collections.

But Pocket is good too. I use it for SF stories from online magazines, and have not had any trouble with it not recognising them or displaying properly.
