I think Kobo are getting much stronger, and Amazon are resting on their laurels. I think Amazon are dumbing down the software so it’s easy for everyone to use, nothing wrong with that, and if you never buy, or want to read a book outside of the Amazon ecosystem, then it’s fine, but for me I want ease of managing all types of ebooks, from all sorts of retailers, and it’s just easier on a Kobo using Calibre.
