With the kobo the covers are displayed correctly without any problem. If you have some missing image, just connect the kindle to Calibre should fix the problem even with the wifi on on the device. At the time of writing this issue seems fixed, at least if you use Calibre. The kindle used to hide covers for sideloaded books. The light uniformity is good but not perfect on both the devices.ΔΆ.4GHz only on the kobo, 2.4 and 5GHz on the kindle. The kobo has a better contrast (blacks are black) than the kindle and the text is nicer (imho). On the kindle there is not this issue you can barely see some ghosting when moving images, but the device forces a refresh and fixes the effect. For me it is not a big deal, expecially because on these small ereaders I change page often. Everything goes away turning the page, even if you use the standard "page refresh" setting. You can notice some ghosting on the kobo if you use some settings menu or when you take notes. The kindle handle them better than the kobo, it can zoom and move faster, I will be able to re-find/re-take them in any version of the book in any case with very small effort, even on a paper one or if I buy a new ereader. I particularly like these details because it means that I can save them basically forever, even if I don't review my notes after finishing a book. With the kobo you can extract your hightlights/notes with a little more details (chapter name/number). With the kindle, even if the book is well formatted, you can't see the chapter, but just a reference number that I don't know what it means. Things change if you want to export them on Calibre with the plugins annotations (for kindle or kobo) or kobo utilities (just for kobo). On the device the experience is better with the kindle because it's quicker and the keyboard is more confortable. I think many of you knows the differences between the devices and their os/ecosystems but I would like to underline some aspects that are often missing in reviews. I recently had the opportunity to test these two ereaders side to side.
