I prefer the wireless delivery (of non-Amazon books) and better dictionary of a Kindle. I had a Kobo Glo HD, and used it about a year. I got tired of not having a way to "send" books to the device wirelessly, unless it was a book purchased from Kobo.
I'm very "techie" and knew how to get books to the device. I just got tired of it.
You can add fonts to the newer Kindles, and they are just easier to use, especially for non-techie users. Also, my Kobo seemed to lock up much more than my Kindles ever have.
The one feature the Kobo offered that was something I miss on a Kindle is the swipe up/down on the left edge of the screen to adjust the front light. That's a nice feature, and Amazon has made light adjustment more tedious with the newer options. It's certainly not a hardship, but the Kobo method was very nice.
