The Kobo still doesn't have the image zoom option with epubs (kepubs do have it) and it doesn't have global search like Kindles have (the option to search the text of your entire library).
I highly disagree with you. Reading on an unpatched Kobo is not worse then reading on a Kindle. Once the Kobo is patched, yes it's better. That makes it even better then the Kindle yet again.

I have never once had the need to search all my eBooks in one go. If I ever felt the need for image zoom, I can read KePub.

What I find annoying about the Kindle is the really pathetic setting Amazon foists on the user. Wide margins and a wide line height. BAH!

I rarely use my PW3. But I am glad it's not a PW4. The PW4 screen is not realy all that good because Amazon did a really poor job making it flush. The PW4 screen is not as clear/sharp as the PW3 screen.
