Of course. And Kobo could also offer other features that Kindle has, such as synchronisation, sending files by email, a translator, longer battery life or a powerful ecosystem like Amazon's (or a low-cost 7" monochrome e-reader, which many people on this forum are longing for). If you compare one e-reader with another, you will always find differences between them. Because Kindle or Kobo e-readers (or any other brand) are neither better nor worse. They are different. And each user chooses the one that best suits their preferences or offers something that the competition does not have.
I have never pitted my e-readers against each other. I think all brands have something to offer and complement each other quite well. I think Kindle is one of the best options on the market, not because most e-reader users choose it, but because I really like what it offers. And, of course, there are some things I miss. I feel exactly the same way about Kobo, PocketBook, Onyx Boox, or any other brand.
