Should I just be getting the best Kindle I can afford? I've tried to read a few reviews and looked at a Kobo Libra 2 as well as the latest Kindles in the Black Friday sale but can't pick a winner. Do the Kobo's work as well with Calibre as the Kindles?

I'd be very grateful for options about the best Ereaders and ones to look at or reviews to read.

Thank you!
Kindle hasn't really gotten any better in terms of the software. There are some on Mobileread saying the Kindle firmware has gotten worse.

My choice of a Reader that has good firmware that's fairly open is Kobo. I like the Kobo Libra 2. It's a 7" Reader with an excellent screen. I would go for the Kobo over the Onyx for sure.
