And like others have said before, the Kindle "just works." Great for the less-technical audience, or people (like me) who just got tired of always trying to deal with Kobo "workarounds" or waiting for the next patch to fix bugs/known issues.
You have a choice. You have Just works (poorly) or you have works much better then a Kindle. I prefer works much better then a Kindle.

In another thread it's said that the new 5.12.4 firmware causes excess battery drain. So if you keep your WiFi on to download from Amazon, you can get the firmware pushed to your Kindle (PW3 or later).
