That’s pretty much where I am at: convenience.
Kindle eReaders are more than ‘good enough’ for me, but I also like to read on my iPad mini, and if I had to pick just one device, that would be it.
Whatever hardware/software/openness advantages Kobo eReaders offer (as detailed in this thread and elsewhere) would necessarily inconvenience me to take advantage of, and in the end, none of these seem compelling enough for me to actually get one.
I have made a start on de-DRM ing my several thousand Kindle books, but at the rate I’m going, I will never finish. I’ve convinced myself that I can (someday) finish a script to automate the process, and thus save many hours of effort, but my resolve to do so is weak.
The path of least resistance (and having more time to read instead of managing a collection of books I will read only a fraction of) is to stick with Kindles, which I’m doing: getting the new Paperwhite next month.
