I've tried to compare all the models in an excel file based on the technical details some of the websites provided.
A preliminar comparison seems to indicate that the only difference between the three models (JPR-B, KDN-B and KBO-B) is that the JPR-B has 10 fonts and 24 font sizes while the other two have 7 fonts and 17 font sizes.
Two websites said that the KDN-B and KBO-B have the same characteristics. But here is when things got complicated. Another website stated that the KBO's processor was a MX508 instead of just 508 but I guess this is the same.
Another difference is thata website stated that the KBO was able to read "PRC (Mobipocket)" format while the others said nothing. But I won't continue because the same seller with the same e-reader has often different characteristics in their own website and in their page in Amazon. For example, one of them states in its website that the software is "New and improved Kobo Desktop software" while in Amazon it says it runs Linux.
Damn, how is that such a simple thing is getting so complicated?
