Kobo has built-in Overdrive, Dropbox and Pocket support on the device itself, which Kindle lacks.

  Pocket is the reason I chose the Kobo, how can the others miss that feature, it's not like people just read books nowadays.

    While not exactly like Pocket, there are services that can send web articles to your Kindle. I work on one called Push to Kindle: https://www.fivefilters.org/push-to-kindle/ https://www.fivefilters.org/push-to-kindle/

      that's a good idea, you should try to implement some sort of extension to make it easier

        Thanks. We already have extensions for most popular browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Links at the URL above. As well as an Android and iOS app. Chrome extension here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/push-to-kindle/pnaiinchjaonopoejhknmgjingcnaloc https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/push-to-kindle/pna...

  The overdrive and epub support was the reason for me buying the kobo even after already owning a kindle. Still worth it just for the overdrive support.

  Kobo only needs it to support transfers, and because it lacks emailing. If I want Overdrive, Dropbox and Pocket support, I have a smartphone for that.
