Kobo Glo HD is more or less the exact equivalent but is more format-agnostic, meaning it can handle mobi/epub/etc where the Kindle only reads mobi. The Kobo apparently also has more options with regards to controlling font and backlighting.

If you're using Calibre to manage your ebook library, the format support becomes a moot issue.

If you were buying books, the Kindle supposedly has a pricing advantage because Amazon forces discounts that Rakuten can't match. I don't know how true this is.

Sounds like you need the Kobo™ Glo™ HD.

With adjustable margins, the ability to highlight passages and write notes and a built-in dictionary at the touch of a finger, Kobo™ Glo™ HD lets you take your reading experience to the next level.

Plus, read in direct sunlight with the anti-glare screen, or in complete darkness with the built-in adjustable ComfortLight.

Now available at the amazingly low price of just $129.99, you have no reason not to!

I convinced my friend to get a Kobo and star reading. I recommended him to start with "Junky", he liked. He's currently reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but going very slow. Idk if he'll keep reading.
