Kindles has issues with books not downloading with the book thumbnails which drives me nuts. You have to then take it off your device then hope it will eventually refresh with image thumbnails then you can download it. Also I get download complete message when in fact book is not downloaded at all. You will never have that with a KOBO.
Kobo you can rent library books direct from the device, more customization abilities with fonts, page, margins .. etc, and books download with no hang-ups. And the best of all is battery life lasts 10 times longer than the kindles.
I own Nooks, Kobos, and Kindles. The Oasis I love but if you want the very best quality in an entry-level device the KOBO Clara HD winds hands down compared to Kindle basic and paperwhite. It is faster than the paperwhite and the quality and feel is so much better. If you buy a kindle go for the Oasis. If you need a cheaper model go with the Nook or the Kobo Clara.
I also Have the Nook 7.8" and love it more than the Basic Kindle and the paperwhite.
