Same here. Ever since Kobo got their software sorted, I‘ve started eyeing their offerings. But I really like to read between my Kindle and iPad (e.g. for taking notes, copying quotes etc.) and that is something that is simply not supported on Kobo for books other than those that you get from their store.
Kobo has more recently acquired the German tolino brand backend technology. I wonder if they will make use of that system which seems to work really well for integrating all kinds of different sources.
Also, the dictionaries on Kindle are SO MUCH BETTER. It is crazy to see how a company like Kobo that stresses reading experience so much has such terrible offerings in the dictionary department. At the least, they should offer well-redacted dictionaries on their store, like Amazon does for language combinations that aren’t included for free.
