I am a happy Kobo user. It's EPUB, which is, for me, the main selling point. It will happily be spoonfed books by Calibre, so I am tied only to "places where I can get EPUB files" (Google Play Store (although some things seem to be PDF-only *sigh*(, the Kobo store, Baen, and a bunch of other places). They're relatively cheap. They're comfortable to hold and I dearly love my Kobo Glo.
Ruggedness? Don't know, I am on my second, the first one eventually succumbed to its "I have no protection!" state and the screen broke in interesting ways. But, at £100 per unit, I am happy with the 14 months use I got and the replacement is getting up on the same age and seems to have no obvious faults, yet. But, then, the replacement does have a protective cover.
OTOH, I can see the better integration, it just comes at a price I am not willing to pay.
