I have a couple of thousand books on my ageing Kindle. Looking for a new ereader, will check out Kobo. Do you buy books from Kindle and convert them to ePub?

The Kobo book store is smaller than Amazon's, but still huge. The UI may look different, but it is still the same process of search/browse, buy/preview. Either on the web site or from the device.
All the talk of conversions and Calibre etc in the thread is possibly muddying the waters as it is totally unnecessary if you just want to mirror the Kindle flow.
