Didn't know about Kobo but apparently that model seems to be out of stock in the EU. Also the devices seem a bit more expensive than amazon's. Not sure if this is just amazon selling at a loss or that the quality or something might be better on the Kobo.
I'll have a look on the local 2nd hand market, maybe I'll have some luck.
From what I can tell the H20 is an older product that's been mostly replaced by the Libra 2. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon sold at a loss, breaking a kindle out of the Amazon ecosystem is more work than most people will do, so they end up being audible subscribers and buying books from Amazon. Personally I think they're worth the slightly higher price tag to avoid the headache but ultimately it's your money
