Some people do go for Kobo readers because of additional features and control vs Amazon devices. But not enough. Nowhere near enough. We will know if the number grows sufficiently for Amazon to care because Amazon will then look at why it is losing market share and attempt to address it. But it seems very few care.

If you had a Kindle firmware with the features Kobo has, I can see some people going Kindle instead of Kobo. Amazon's adding more font sizes and the font weight control is in response to Kobo. The larger screen size is also in response to Kobo. Amazon is trying to play catch up with Kobo.
