NST to ---> Kobo or Kindle?
I am contemplating upgrading my e-reader from my stand-by NOOK ST to another type of e-reader. For a variety of reasons, I'm not considering another NOOK device.

It really comes down to Kobo or Kindle, likely a Glo HD or Paperwhite.

My big concern is my existing B&N library. ~500. I know some conversion will be needed, and have no problem with that, but I wonder which is the least PITA to deal with for the best end result?

I am leaning Kobo, but I have no experience with their devices or them as a company. How is there customer service? How is their store experience, both online and on-device?

This will be a back-up reader, mostly, as I mostly carry my Nexus tablet with me. (Comixology app and all.) So, conceivably, I could use the apps on my tablet for all other formats and move forward with whatever device/store I move to. I have very few Kindle books at this point, so that's not much of a factor.

Kobo is a nose better on pricing for the device.

Thoughts?
