> Apart from the ereader feature, how does Kobo compare against Kindle
I can't compare directly with Kindle, as the last one I used was a couple of years ago.
But the features that directly appealed to me are stylus support for two of the latest models: Elipsa and Sage.
It has support for Overdrive as far as I know (though not in all countries). It has support for dropbox. It supports more formats, which makes it a favourite for sideloaded manga/comics reading.
It's easy to root and run your own code on it, there's a pretty healthy community of modders out there. Under the hood is just a linux machine.
