Ask here if there any warts or snags with removing the DRM from the books you might buy from the Kobo store. I have some vague memory that there's something but I may be wrong. I haven't bought any books from the Kobo store.
The big thing for me is that the Kobo's user interface is much more functional than the Kindle's. I have an ancient Kindle Touch which got its final update years ago and its user interface is pretty much the same as the Oasis user interface. The way you can move around and find stuff is much nicer on the Kobo, especially when you have a lot of books.
On the downside there have been complaints about uneven lighting. Mine has a brighter band on the right close to the buttons but I prefer the brightness down very low, about 3%, and then that band isn't visible. The page turn buttons on mine don't have a nice clean click, more of a crunching. Annoying but they function as expected.
I also find it easier to hold; the right side where the buttons are is angled up slightly which makes a big difference. The Kobo folding case is also very nice; folds into a sort of pyramid shape which can be used as a stand.
