As noted above, what's "best" is really a matter of personal taste. I got my first Kindle c. 2011 and went through several before discovering Kobo last year, and now would never go back. That's because for me, the areas where Kindle outshines Kobo don't matter. Most notably, the dictionaries. I'm at a loss to know why Kobo apparently makes having mediocre mini-dictionaries a badge of honour/point of difference, but as I always have superior alternatives at my fingertips on my phone, it doesn't trouble me. X-Ray is "much ado about (almost) nothing" for me, and Goodreads integration is just another ill-disguised data-grabbing exercise by Amazon. None of those features appeal to me as much as the 6.8 inch screen on my H202, which cost me little more than a 6-inch Kindle Paperwhite would have, and far less than the 7-inch Kindle models. But of course, your mileage may (and likely will) vary.
