Kindle has amazing ecosystem (Amazon is usually cheaper, has more books if you count indies)
Amazon's customer service, should you need it, wins hands down
Kindle has WhisperSync for personal documents
Kindle has direct integration with OverDrive library books


Kobo has far better typography, if you happen to care in the slightest about that sort of thing
Kobo collections can be managed via calibre without first jailbreaking the device
Kobo can checkout library ebooks even if you don't live in the U.S.
Kobo has the option for a larger screen and waterproofing
Kindle has the option for haptic page turn buttons
