Also, while Kobo offers a fully customizable device out of the box, a plethora of additional customizations is available via simple patches.
The Oasis3 is also an excellent ereader, superior hardware, IMHO, with a beautiful display. But I have not been able to duplicate the warmer color temperature or contrast that my Kobo readers provide. Others have already mentioned the closed system limitations, ad-removal, etc.
Fortunately, there are many options between size, hardware, firmware, features, and customization. Only you can determine the best choice.

The ability to adjust font weight is certainly present on Kindles. You can even adjust the weight of your own installed fonts. On a Kobo you can do it only via patching.
