One thing I forgot from my list:
This pisses me off about eBooks in general, not just the Kobo: you can't tell how long a book is just by looking at it in an online store. You have to download it (paying for it if it is not a free book) and start reading it to get any idea at all how long it is. I've downloaded more than one book on my iPod that turned out to be 10 page short stories. I see the same problem with my Kobo.
That's one of things I like about Fictionwise. On their multiformat books (no DRM) reading time is given plus file size. They also use icons to designate the length of their multiformat books. On DRMed books, the file size is given.

If you're reading mostly DRMed books, Fictionwise is probably not a good choice because right now they don't have any books from the big 5 agencies. And geo restrictions are a pain even though it usually doesn't affect Canadians as badly as the rest of the world because publishing rights usually are for North America not just the US.
