I’ve never owned an eReader.
As I understand it, because of DRM, getting Amazon books to a Kobo isn’t recommended. I believe there are ways to do so. But whatever those are today, they may be stifled anytime in the future, because of changes to the DRM code.
Thus, just in case I may want to read an Amazon book now and then and to keep that option available, it would seem that a Kindle it is and a Kobo is out of the question – i.e., I can get library books to the Kindle, but I can’t easily get Amazon books to a Kobo.
As an eReader first timer, am I thinking correctly?

I have the kobo libra 2 and the paperwhite 5.
Kobo is slower (tho this is for manga) in most areas. But I think the screen looks better. If you add any brightness to the paperwhite it starts to look very lcd even with warm lighting. The kobo doesn't do this until much higher brightness. Not sure why but that alone makes me enjoy it more.
I also vastly perfer the ergo of the kobo. Way better if you read in bed on your side at all.
