IMO it would depend on whether Kobo is primarily a ebook seller or a device seller. Amazon developed the Kindle to sell ebooks per my understanding and apparently Sony considered running a ebook store to provide ebooks for their readers as a business they did not really want to be in. Possibly an attitude which helped kill their retail ebook reader business. Possibly not helped by their delay in coming out with e-readers with built in wireless communication and direct book download capability. Kindle had that from day one, making their readers more user friendly, at least in that respect.
