The nice part is that we don't have make an exclusive choice. I spend most of my time reading epubs so the Kobo/RMSDK renderer works for me. When I do need to read a pdf file (mostly tech manuals), a quick reboot to use koreader works. I prefer epubs for my personal reading since Sigil or Calibre's built-in editor makes editing them quite painless.

Now if they made a 28" eInk screen (~4500x6000 pixels) so I could bring up a A3 sized diagram at a readable size without needing to scroll a window around the page....
