Are you trying to say that in the USA, a Kindle eInk ereader offers more features and a lower price than the equivalent Kobo device? So comparing a Paperwhite to a Clara HD, a Libra H2O to the current generation Oasis, a Kobo Forma... Well that one doesn't work since Amazon does not have an 8" eInk ereader in their current lineup.

Please note that Richwood said nothing about popularity, just features and prices.

BTW, using the pricing from Amazon.ca and Kobo's Canadian site:

Code:
6" devices
Paperwhite	$139.99
Clara HD	$139.99

7" devices
Oasis 8GB	$329.99
Libra H2O	$199.99

8" devices
Forma 8GB	$299.99
So price wise, a tie on the 6" end, a definite advantage on the 7" devices and no contest for the 8" device.
