Also koreader will highlight passages and I don't think the kobo reader will. The dictionary works fine in koreader, I'm not so sure on the kobo reader.

I've tried to stick with Nickel (the built in software) but had too many problems. The biggest issue was database corruption. The reading experience with kobo reader was painful but I tried using k2pdf which does a great job autocropping PDFs. Reading that way was pretty good. Some day I might give it a try again but koreader is getting so feature rich that it might be hard to give it up.

Like Ken said, you can have them both and switch between them.
It looks like both "k2pdf" and Koreader are based on MuPDF (For rendering PDF & DJVU) Koreader also includes an OCR program to aid its reflow of scanned documents.

Luck;
Ken
