My point is that "Kobo is not recommended due to buggy firmware, get a Kindle instead" is (a) false ("is not recommended"? Globally? By internet vote? What?), and (b) not a useful response to a person who was very specific that they were asking for opinions comparing two Kobo devices - and even giving quite reasonable reasons for that choice (collections management). And a person in the UK at that, so they wouldn't even be able to so much as read library books on a Kindle, as well as not being able to manage their collections as they choose.

Despite having brilliant experiences with multiple Kobos personally, I don't jump into every "Hey, Paperwhite or Voyage?" thread opining "Kindles are not recommended due to their limited firmware and crappy collections management, get a Kobo instead".

I'm much more likely to be looking at an Amazon offering such as the Voyage Two, should it ever appear
Good for you. I recommend Kindles from time to time too, depends on the individual's needs. What has that to do with the OP's question?
