I was a Kindle reader for years, then switched to an iPad. I just got a Kobo Aura One as a way to get myself to stop spending money with Amazon and make more use of my local library. Transferred all my e-books via Calibre.

The Kobo is awesome. I was slightly worried about whether the battery life would be disappointing, but it hasn't been a problem. I don't know if it's weeks of battery, but it's definitely days of battery. The big screen is wonderful, it's like reading hardbacks without the inconvenience, and the light weight compared to an iPad is a relief. I also like the estimated reading time feature of kepub — when I'm feeling sleepy I can look and see if I can likely make it through another chapter.
