I'm glad your Kindle is fixed. Not having to buy a new reader is always best.

But don't feel locked in by format. If you use Apprentice Alf's Calibre plug-in to remove you DRM, it is trivial to import Amazon books into Calibre and convert them. Converting a book from mobi or azw3 to epub takes something like under a minute a book. I own a Kobo and buy all my books from Amazon and it takes very little time.

There is not a way to directly send a book from Amazon to a Kobo that I know of.
