Unless you are paranoid about your reading habits, to me there is one big advantage that Kindle has. That is the ability to use email to send items to a kindle, which automatically also installs them in the Amazon cloud for the owner. That makes them available on all Amazon Kindle tablets and readers registered to that account. I just sent 80+ Mobi ebooks From Smashwords to my Kindle Voyage with "convert" in the emails subject line. All the files are now in the cloud and on my Voyage in AZW format.
So far as I can see there is no method other than buying an item from the Kobo store to get it stored in the Kobo cloud. Thus other than by sideloading there is no way for you to load work related documents or have others send you such items that I am aware of other than possibly using the Kobo browser to read email and download attachments, if this is possible? That still will not place them in the Kobo cloud that I know of. This makes the Kindle a much more versatile device it seems to me.
