I don't own a Kindle, just Nooks and Kobos. I've played with relatives Kindles, but that's about it.
But I CAN say that comparing the Nook and Kobo software, I like Kobos a lot more. I appreciate Kobo's ability to reassign touch zones, create collections using tags in Calibre and display series info in the library. Nook can't do that.
And from what I've seen and read on these forums, Kindle seems like it's missing features that even the Nook has, like the ability to read a book's synopsis without having to open it.

The only appeal is that a friend who reads very little has one, that she was offering to me at a discount.

Depending on how cheap it is, it might still be a good deal. I prefer Kobo's software to Nook or Kindle, but honestly, all three are still good readers.
Can Kindles access Overdrive in Canada?
Is it possible you could borrow the Kindle to see what you think of it?

I've heard the Aura H20 is an older model and I'm wondering how much of a concern that is?

My original 6" Aura still get updates and run the latest firmware. Both H2Os get them as well. The H2O2 has a carta screen. I don't think you have to worry about buying an H2O.
