My personal feeling is that anyone who wrote the contents of
message #13 in this thread and then complains about off topic posts should look for their headshot in the dictionary—next to the definition for hypocrite.
As someone who owns and uses both Kobo and Kindle devices, I feel my opinion has at least as much as your Kindle only user opinion.
As near as I can tell, the state of the art for Kindles has not changed since this thread was created nearly 10 years ago and your question was answered more or less in the 3 messages after your necro-post. As mentioned above, message #13 opened this thread to the Kindle vs. Kobo discussion. Do you remember who wrote the following quoted message? If not, take a look in the nearest mirror and see if anyone looks more than vaguely familiar.

Truth be told, as proprietary and ham-fisted as Amazon can be, I find the Kindle to be superior devices in almost every way. I like the way they feel and the way they behave. Amazon has a lot of leeway with me as long as they keep creating devices of this quality.

And for the popularity of StK? The vast majority of Amazon ebooks are read on iOS and Android devices since compared to the numbers of downloads/installs for those (~250,000,000), the Kindle ereader sales are pretty much a rounding error. Kobo and Kindle will happily sync their store bought books synced to their apps and very few people out of that user population will ever use StK.
