I have a Kobo and my wife has a Kindle - I like the Kobo way better, primarily because the Kindle is trying to sell me stuff all the time.

That’s why you never connect the kindle to the internet and simply upload copies of the books into it

I prefer the Kindle because it’s so easy and cheap to buy books I don’t need to bother pirating.

Does it have the same selection as Amazon?

Most of it. 99% of the stuff they don't share is generally stuff you don't want to read. With that said there are a few Amazon exclusive series' like the "Cradle" series.
