Lastly have you made a switch from Kindle > Kobo? What do you miss?

Nothing, honestly.
To be open, I've recently gone from a Voyage to a Libra 2.
I had an awful experience with a Clara after my Paperwhite 2 died, hated it to be honest. It felt cheap and nasty in hand to me.
The good folks here convinced me to give Kobo another shot and I'm so grateful they did. So when the aging eyes told me 6" wasn't cutting it I gambled on Kobo.
The Libra 2 is simply outstanding, Amazon have a huge, huge amount of work to do in order to compete with this device IMHO.
The screen is excellent, on a par with my Voyage. The warm lighting puts it one up.
Buttons are well placed, not noisy, not soft, just right.
I couldn't care less about formats being a calibre user but it handles epubs just fine for me. I don't fiddle with formatting, I have neither the knowledge nor the patience but so far I've had no issues.
The reading experience (as it should be on any ereader) is outstanding, I pick a book, it opens and we're off. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that for me.
Getting a new device also gave me the kick I needed to finally organise my library properly, and following the Wiki kobo guide was no problem.
Coming from Kindle I can assure you the way Kobo handles collections & series is literally night and day compared to a kindle.
My biggest concern, especially after the Clara was build quality and I'm happy to say the Libra 2's is excellent. On a par with any of my previous Kindles, and say what you wish about Amazon but I always thought they turned out a well made product.
I thought it was slightly slippery, although I haven't seen anyone else complain about it but a Kwmobile case which are cheap and cheerful has solved that for me.
I have one, one little snag. I would like the header to display the time in 24hr. Being a Kobo device, I have absolutely no doubt there is a way of doing this.
