When you line up the two product lines it seems like Kobo all the way to me, but I may be biased.  The reality is that most Americans, if they've got a Kindle, won't switch to Kobo even for more specs at a similar outlay. I think the Walmart association is disastrous to Kobo's attempts to penetrate the American market. |
Makes me wonder if Kobo's association with Walmart is just to dump off what they don't think they'll sell otherwise...since the Clara's been mostly MIA, and the Aura's the only one consistently in stock.
