Kindle Paperwhite v1 versus Kobo Aura

$

I currently own both a Kobo Aura and a first-gen Kindle Paperwhite. I'm trying to decide which one to make my primary reader. I'm not interested in buying a new reader, I'm trying to decide which of the two I have to make my primary.

Pro Kobo:
  • Smaller
  • Better light
  • Displays series information
  • Battery seems to last longer

Pro Kindle:
  • I can use personal document syncing to read on my phone if I leave my reader somewhere and want to read a bit
  • More seamless for books purchased from Amazon
  • Better selection than Kobo

Things I don't care about:
  • The Kindle doesn't show the cover, instead shows random images
  • The Kindle software is too new to root (which I think I would only use to display the book cover anyway)
  • Kobo's reading awards
  • Kindle's Goodreads integration

Out of these two, has anyone used both and come away with a strong preference for one over the other? Do you use one and have a killer feature that keeps you from using another brand of reader?
