I did that and bought a Kobo to replace an old Kindle I had. But after a month I sold the Kobo and got a new Kindle. The reason was that Kobo has a sliding power button that allows you to turn it on/off. This is different that putting it to sleep. In order to save battery, I often turned it off instead of leaving in sleep mode. This may be a minor difference, but Kindles don't give you that choice and I prefer Kindle's simplicity, which allows you not to care about how your decission between off/sleep would affect the charge.
