Kindles have traditionally just — automatically — used the whole page. (At least it's better for top and bottom margins, left and right margins — without jail breaking, which is much harder than patching — are, in my opinion, too wide.)
I don't know that that's fair or true. There's plenty of ways Kindle would benefit from some Kobo-like patching: ease of creating collections, and ability to display series in your library for instance.

Also, it wasn't that long ago that Kindles couldn't auto-hyphenate words and had very poor typography. They are better now. Maybe better than Kobo. But if page layout is your marker, I think Nook beats both. (To be fair, I don't have handy access to a Kindle, so if there were recent firmware updates, I can't easily compare).
