Just curious: can anyone who has used both kindle e-readers and the kindle store and kobo e-readers and the kobo/rakuten store compare them for me?

I'm thinking along these lines:

• selection of books
• price of books
• evilness of the company ;)
• physical properties/features of the e-readers themselves

Any ideas? @joel?

Will I spend an hour removing DRM from all my previous Kindle purchases so I can read them on my Kobo as god intended? Hell yeah.

Big thanks to this kind human:
