The PW4 is not on sale at Best Buy currently. They will price match, so I can get it at that price. But the Kobo has already been ordered along with a case for it.

I much prefer ePub to Amazon's format. There are plenty of free ePubs available online she can probably just drag and drop onto the Kobo. The Kindle will require Calibre (or some other tool) to convert to KF8 in order to side load.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite 3, and I've stuck with is mostly for the ecosystem. My first Kindle was the Kindle 3, and Calibre could do collections right in the software. When the Kindle 4 came out, the feature went away.

But with the help of Apprentice Alf, I have "liberated" all my Amazon purchases and am free to hop between readers.

When the Paperwhite 3 goes, I will move to a Kobo. I never used Amazon's X-Ray feature. And no one has completely reverse engineered KFX.
