Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Vs. The Kobo Glo

I received E-mail from Amazon.co.jp. E-mail said that “Kindle Paperwhite” is price down before shipping. It goes down from 8,480 Yen to 7,980 Yen. Amazon don’t notice why they put down the price but clearly Rakuten “kobo glo”, competitor’s new e-book reader, have announced in November 1.

I found a movie comparing two readers at Youtube. That’s interesting.

And, here is a comparative table in Japan.

As I have seen this table, they are competing products. Which reader will be dominate the market of e-books in Japan?
