Remeber it's not just about saving a $100 there is a reason that is only a $150.
Android Marketplace supports no tablet or reader so its no discriminator here.

Neither is generic Adobe Adept support as both offer it.
On the other hand, the IQ allows Kindle and Kobo access.

Future support?
Pocketbook offers a two year warranty and their track record is actually better than B&N. They even offer out-of-warranty repairs.

The back-end issues are a wash.
(Pocketbook isn't up for sale or dragging the overhead of a fading chain of bookstores.)

Realistically, the only discriminators here are features, hardware, and pricing and neither is a one-size-fits-all clearcut winner. No product is.
Both products are worthy buys depending on your needs.
