Kobos give you many adjustments which can greatly add to your reading enjoyment, especially if you have poorer eyesight, and allow easy patching without rooting to give you even more customization options. You can also have Calibre automatically add all your books to collections on Kobo readers so they can be sorted by series or genre tags.

Depends on one's personal needs, of course. Having owned both Kobo and Kindle devices, my personal preference is for the Kindle. I have no need for any customisation beyond what the Kindle offers: basic changing of font size, line spacing, and margins, and a reasonable selection of decent fonts. I have 1800 books on my Kindle and not the slightest difficulty in locating the one I want.
Everyone's requirements are different.
