I've had brief encounters with Kobo readers and a long relationships with a kindle. Frankly, I don't remember the Kobos being in any way superior except that the Clara HD had a warm light feature (which had lightbleed, the reason for its return).
Now that I can put custom fonts on my PW2 I'm happy with it, though I convert all books to azw3 to display the custom fonts. The dictionary is great, especially the "Open Dictionary" feature which displays it full screen. Would be even more fun if it had a Thesaurus, though totally unnecessary for reading.
I had a quick play with a Kobo Mini before giving it to a friend; didn't like the odd large margin at the bottom of the screen. Don't know if that was specific to the Mini.
Kindles are fine. I'm hoping the next PaperWhite will have a comfortlight. In the middle of winter, though, I'm happy with a harsh blue light to ward off S.A.D.
