Thinking of switching to Kobo, how you finding it? I guess you can't compare it to Kindle but still would like to know.
A bit too soon to fully answer your question I'm afraid. My first impressions FWIW:

- nice format, not too heavy
- the case was recommended in several reviews, so I added it right away
- uploading epub files seems to be handled via a usb cable (no wireless on the Clara I guess)
- nice screen, with brightness and (auto) natural light settings
- synchronization with Pocket (though I haven't got that working yet)
- I plan on giving Calibre a closer look as well to handle my library.

I've seen quite some reviews, including Kobo-Kindle comparisons. In the end, I went with Kobo.
Kindle is said to tie you into the Amazon ecosystem.

Also the full keyboard with black keys, and a the black Magic Trackpad.

I bought one for my dad, though a bit lesser spec, and I was quite impressed with the performance of it while getting it setup for him this afternoon. So I ordered one for myself, too.

Very nice. It’s my next large purchase as my 2018 Mac Mini is struggling with some of my LR and PS work. Enjoy.

In a coffee shop.
Some beer was purchased today, but has yet to be delivered.
The beer purchased earlier today included several of a number of different types of beer from Weihenstephaner: Their Helles, their Hefeweissbier Dunkel, and their (seasonal) Festbier.

Then, there were several beers from a number of different Belgian (Trappist, or Trappist style) classics: St Bernardus Pater 6, Trappistes Rochefort 8, and Westmalle Dubbel.
