While not offering an open reader they are hundred percent more committed to making life less painful for a greater number of users. Kobo isn't and they prove that with every iteration of the poor mess they call a firmware update...

And yet there are plenty of people out there who don't have issues. The problem with fora is that by design they tend to be collections of people who are there because they've had a problem and are looking for a resolution.
Kindle are more committed to locking people into their amazon ecosystem, such as with the phone, amazon video etc. I prefer Kobo myself as theres more openness.
Having owned Kobo's and Kindles I'll stick to Kobo. They've been far less problematic for me.
