3) You can convert files to azw3 as well, not just mobi. Highly recommend Calibre if you haven't already checked out the sub-forum here at MR.
I'm still on a K4 non-touch [buttons, yay!] so I can't give first hand experience for newer readers.

1. That just makes me mad. More fool for me for not reading up more about the Kindle before I bought it
I just assumed, it's the most well-known/common eReader, it's probably going to be the best, right? The bare-faced cheek of making me pay to remove ads from my device I already paid for.
2. Thanks for the tip. I read on the Kobo forum a bit to get an idea. But it would be great if someone could confirm which (if any) of the features I mentioned wanting exist on the Kobo.
3. Yeah, I use Calibre for converting! But I find the limited format thing to be stupid on principle. Most of my books are epubs, and converting them isn't the worst thing ever, but why does it have to even be like that?
It would be a nice bonus to have a reader that can read most formats.
