The catch with the Kindle and why I would suggest the Kobo over it is that Amazon has tried and in the most recent firmwares has succeeded at blocking modifications. The Kobo has no such protections, it's fully your own device and you can mod it as you see fit. Additionally, the whole OS is on an internal SD card and if you fuck everything up you can crack it open and reimage your SD card. Perfect tool for modders.
