I would wait one week and then spend 15 min at each store and insist you get to play with the live powered up working model. The battery life on the Kobo isn't longer -- it's 10 times longer. And backlit vs e-ink ... e-ink is really a lot more flexible, particularly in brighter conditions. Also, since you put it that way, I'd be inclined to choose "ugly blue button" over "damn ungly" ... LOL. YMMV.
