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.

And yet Kindle has better support for the open file formt PDF...
People didn’t have issues with their Sony PRS-500s and yet it is easy to point out that they present a subpar experience in comparison to what is possible these days. The fact that Kobo is collaterally introducing new bugs and other quibs with every firmware release is just subpar, period. Of course if I just read a couple of novels that I purchase from Kobo, I have less problems than if I use calibre in conjunction with my Kobo and have to restart the device after adding new books because my Kobo only registered half of them on first try (and database is likely to corrupt if I just ignore the discrepancy between files on the device and in the database, just a random bug in 3.13.1)...
I really don’t care if most people are generally satisfied with their Kobos, they are just bad devices, starting with subpar eink drivers (largely responsible for the sluggish behavior) all the way up to the random quibs like random unregistered highlights...
