Kobo is the only one Amazon needs to consider a real competitor globally.

But when you add up all the different Readers that ar not Kindles, the numbers increase. Kindle made be the biggest seller in the US, but it's not the biggest seller globally. In the US, Kobo is the biggest competitor to Amazon with more choices of hardware and better firmware.

Yup, like Cloudlibrary, like RBDigital, like BorrowBox.
These services are increasing.
One thing that was on the slight side of Kobo when I was looking at getting an eReader was library lending. Then my library switched away from Overdrive

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Cloudlibrary does use ePub, but they use their own app as a front end.. RBDigital uses ePub with ADE. So you do not need a separate app for that. Borrowbox, I don't know about. So of the three, RBDigtial is not an issue.
