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.
The Kobo can be patched to reduce the margin and change the font size of the footer.
