I'm a little bit the opposite. I like Amazon Kindles (not as much as Tolinos) but I don't want to do most of my book shopping at Amazon (even though it's convenient). This is mainly because I want other companies to survive.
My main "problem" with Kobos is that they're so "tweakable." Unfortunately, I've found that if I
can tweak, I
will tweak, almost obsessively — and it gets a bit tiring. The other advantages (for me) with Kindles is that I like the dictionary and the screens seem more touch sensitive (though I think the latest Kobo firmware has improved this on my Touch). The one main disadvantage of the Kindle is that it defaults to too wide of margins (I keep wanting to choose a smaller margin when I've been reading on another reader and go to a Kindle).
But, basically, I like all my readers. Especially the one I happen to be using at the time.
