It's always about money. Kindles obviously bring in more cash for somebody than Kobos do. Hence the availability of Kindles and the rarity of Kobos. You can complain until you are blue in the face about this not being fair to Kobo or to customers who want to buy a Kobo. But remember, "It's always about money" ... so don't hold your breath too long.
The superior product will not always win either. Back in the days of VCRs, VHS won out over Betamax. Beta was clearly superior, but VHS out-marketed them (in the consumer market, but not the professional market). Then you have Bluray vs. HD-DVD. There was not clear superior technology there IMHO, however with it being "all about the money", the Bluray group was willing to spend more money to shutdown HD-DVD than the other way around.
