I've never patched my Kobos. I've had or used or have various Kindles, total of all those is about 8 different models, maybe more.
I find/found the original Aura H2O, Libra, Libra2 and Sage all better than the PW3 or Oasis 2. The Kobo Touch C had a poor screen but otherwise better than a Kindle DXG, K3 or older Basic.
I tested Whispernet, sync and Send to Kindle and have no use for them. One PW3 has nearly the last Kindle version and I find that worst so far.
I tried kepub also on Kobo and prefer the epub. It's not much different to azw3 on a PW3 or Oasis 2, or epub on Sony PRS350 or Nook Simple Touch or Binatone. I prefer epub2 to KFX or azw3.
With 1000s of ebooks, and annotating the proof reading of new books I find the Kobo Sage (and previously Libra and Aura H20) far superior to the Paperwhite. Annotation export is far better.
I can ignore kepub and if I buy from Amazon or Kobo I download to PC (Linux).
Kepub is less annoying than KFX.
With 1000s of ebooks having Calibre managed Title, author, blurb/comment, published date, series, subtitle, collection and even reading status & position far beats Amazon Kindle only having title and author. Collection only work of JB or a really old Kindle and any turning on with sync of Kindle Wifi can mess covers and collections, or even delete ebooks (bugs).
I considered Scribe but it seems the worst concept of Amazon managed instead of local.
I can't see me buying another Kindle ever.
