As much as I'd like to try a Kobo reader, I simply don't have the patience right now to strip the DRM off all my unread Kindle eBooks, convert them to epub, and then copy them to said Kobo reader. Maybe, if I end up hating the Colorsoft, I'll do that next time around.
I was stripping the DRM from my Kindle titles so I could back them up to Calibre even before I got a Kobo. I don't trust Amazon not to one day yank a book I legally purchased out of my library, so, I back up everything I buy from them as soon as I can.

The bulk conversion of the AZWs to EPUBs is really not that difficult or time-consuming once you've got them decrypted. The KindleUnpack plugin works great.
