With my Kobo, I don't need a specific firmware to jailbreak. I can modify the firmware if I want or not. I can install KOReader and/or Plato as other software for reading eBooks. I can install NickelMenu for more functionality. I have much better eBook organization then I do with a Kindle. If I am not in the USA, the Kobo handles ePub with DRM so I could borrow library eBooks that are in ePub. In the USA, some library have Freading and that is ePub only.

Kobo has the Forma with an 8" screen and a plastic backed screen in case you need to read with a larger font size and/or are worried about breaking the screen because it's glass backed. And Kobo's cost less then Kindles. The Forma is not much more then the Oasis. The Libra is cheaper then the Oasis and the Clara HD is cheaper then the PW4.
