I have a Kobo Glo (one of the first ones) and it has been without doubt one of the best RoI's I've ever gotten on a piece of technology.

It's light, has nice type, a decent battery, it's rubberised case is easy to grip and non-slip.

It falls down epically on the store experience but since I side load with Calibre that makes not a jot of difference.

The kindle I had before had an incredibly slick shopping experience but in every other way was inferior.

I'm definitely looking to get a Kobo Glo HD. I loved my Kindle w/ Keyboard but the battery is shot and it crashes pretty often (also 4 years old). I'm not tied to the Amazon eco-system per se so I'm ok with going to Kobo.
