As far as resolution, etc. goes, they're comparable in my opinion. The kobo has a noticeably larger screen which is a big plus for me. The shape of the forma is better; the side where the battery and buttons are is slightly angled upward making it easier to hold. And it's lighter since it's all plastic, and also not cold metal. There is a problem with a band of light on the side by the buttons but I have it turned down and can't see it. The power button is dodgy but I have a sleep cover and therefore rarely use the power button. For me the UI of the kindle drags the overall score significantly down below the kobo's score.
