Wow, this is the first time I've seen you say something is your opinion instead of objective, revealed truth haha.

I agree that back-to-back, the typesetting on the Kobo mostly looks better; especially if you are reading a book without hyphenation. But against that, I think Bookerly and Ember look better than the standard Kobo fonts (although I recognize that many Mobilereaders seem to like very dark, heavy font glyphs for some reason). And the widow/orphan control on Kobo is way too aggressive, leaving a large unsightly bottom margin on most pages.

To me, one of the best arguments for Kobo is the options for page turn touch zones.
