Of course, Wolf, whenever you compare Kobos with anything Kobo wins. It's automatic.
I have 3 older Kobos and I find them to be very good devices. I also have the 4 latest lighted e-ink Kindles and I think they're excellent. I've never had problems with any of them. I've bought 2 e-ink devices with problems: a Paperwhite 2 when they first came out with defective 3G, which Amazon replaced immediately, and a Kobo Aura which starts turning pages if I apply much pressure near the base while holding it. I decided to live with that problem although I'm sure Kobo would have replaced it but they're just too hard to get in touch with.
As far as screens, every screen I've ever bought on any e-ink device has always been perfect. I've bought a lot of them for myself over the years and for my retirement home neighbors over the years. Both Kindles and Kobos, and all have had perfect screens.
It makes a lot of sense for Amazon and Kobo to butt heads and compete and the more they do it the better off we are. But we're customers and I can't really see much point in us competing.
Anyway, Katie, if you're still reading at this point I suggest getting whichever one you feel comfortable with. That's the only device that'll work properly for you. The other one, whichever that might be, is a piece of junk.
Actually, Wolf, that felt pretty good. I'm beginning to like competing.
