Not many of the books I read are Amazon exclusives and I have no issues with books bought from other sources such as Baen.
For library loans, using the local library with my Kobo is a snap while no local Kindle user can borrow ebooks without a computer.

I use a Kobo (after years using just Kindle) because I create my own ebooks out of word documents and sync them to my kobo using calibre. I also bought a lot of ebooks from other retailers and it’s easier to load them all into calibre and put them on a kobo. The average ebook reader isn’t interested with that.
I have two friends who both own kindles. They just want to read their books and they use both the kindle and the kindle app, both sync to last know reading position. I use two kobo’s, a big one at home and a smaller one in my handbag. I have to manually search to get to my latest reading position when I switch devices.
Also Amazon is much easier to deal with than Kobo and I know that from experience. As much as I love my kobo e-readers I don’t buy books from Kobo anymore and I certainly wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.
