It's pretty frustrating when I read reviews of best eReaders and almost EVERY single review keeps saying that Amazon Kindle is superior over Kobo.

Amazon is massive and reviews on Amazon are untrustworthy.
The Media and Internet reviewers often follow the money. See also Apple.
I have H2O original, Libra, PW3 and have held and used a PW4. Also various older models Kindle.
The Kobo is marginally better than Kindle in HW, but similar. H2O original was peak for screen contrast.
Kobo + Kobo Utilities in Calibre best for Annotation.
If you only want to buy Amazon books then PW4 is best choice.
If you mostly read PD books (Gutenberg), then Kobo Libra is better. Loads of Indie books with no DRM on Smashwords. There are big name books on Kobo.
If you want your cake and eating it, then get a Kindle Basic, download via PC, remove DRM in Calibre Alf's plug in using the Basic's serial number, ignore the Cloud. Read on a Kobo Libra.
Always consider the reviewers normal usage. Ignore reviews in national paper's websites or leading Tech mag/blogs.
