A lot of the things that people on the forum want to do with a Kindle need to have the Kindle jailbroken. Kobo doesn't need to be jailbroken to customize or install other software such as NickelMenu, KOReader, and/or Plato.
Plus, Kobo can do things in Calibre that Kindles only dream of such as collections and series. @DNSB gave a lot of good advantages of Kobo's firmware.
And now to get the new eBook cover as the sleep screen feature to work, you have to spend the $20 (in the US) to get your firmware advert free. Amazon also does something else really annoying. They don't always activate new features. So you have to keep WiFi on to get the new features activated and there's no telling how long it will take.
With Kobo, any new features you get are there right away. No waiting for them.No need to turn on WiFi to get them. Amazon is playing games where Kobo is not.
