The readers I've used most were first the Sony PRS-350, and then the Kobo Glo and Glo HD. In between there I bought a Kindle PW2 because it was on sale at a fantastic price, but I immediately hated it compared to the other readers. You couldn't adjust the font weight or change to your own fonts, and line spacing and margins were far too large for my liking, which I could have lived with... but not the lack of font adjustments. I bought mine just at a time when they locked down the firmware so it couldn't be hacked for the changes I'd need to use it. I know recently they've added the ability to increase the font weight, not sure if you can add your own fonts yet, but it's still capacitive touch and I much prefer infrared. So I use the Kindle just to grab a freebie once a month and that's it, it just sits there.
I also buy most of my books lately from Amazon and just convert through Calibre, and the books look just fine. So if you're ever ready to make the change, you won't have problems with the Kobo readers and your books.
Btw, you can keep just your original mobi or azw3 books on your hard drive and let Calibre convert them on the fly as it sends the books to the Kobo. But Calibre handles collections very nicely on the Kobo readers, you won't be disappointed if you ever make the switch. Kobos are very customizable, which is why I hated the Kindle.
As far as losing any features... Kobo has their own kepub version of epub which will give you a few extras over epub, like the title of the book at the top of each page, reading stats for each book and chapter, handles images a bit differently allowing you to enlarge them. It's your choice which you would prefer to read, epub or kepub. Calibre will convert to either for the Kobo (or both to test them out). But as far as losing anything over the Kindle, I doubt it.
