what's more user friendly? Kindle or Kobo? can I get Erin Hunter's Warrior books on either of them, because that would just about sell a product lol  |
If you live in the US, Kindle is probably the easiest to use and best overall experience. You have a wide choice of devices, support across whatever PC platform you need, and both 3G and WiFi connectivity options. Plus the easiest buying experience possible. If you live in Canada, arguably the Kobo is the best choice, especially if using Library books is important, though I still think the Kindle experience is superior for buying books and general use. If you live anywhere else in the world, the answer will depend on what your requirements are.
The Kindle's customer service is unmatched. For Kobo, you may need intervention from someone on the forum here if there's a problem. While it's great that they are here, I'd much rather have an experience that requires no intervention and exceeds my expectations every time. That's been the experience with Amazon's Kindle support.
