I should mention that I have a Kobo Glo and a Kobo Aura and not the newer Kobo HD. I don't know how that compares with the Kindles screens.

The Aura H2O has a gorgeous screen (I haven't seen a GloHD yet). Glo/Aura are a generation or two behind the current Kobos & Kindles.
There is no "better device all round". If ecosystem and/or customer service are of primary importance, a Kindle is likely a better choice. If typography/display customisation, larger screen, waterproofing, easy control of collections with Calibre, public library use anywhere but the USA, or tweakability/openness are important, Kobo.
