PocketBook is the best selling reading device in my country. They have stopped trying to compete in USA, because it is very difficult to compete against Amazon that sells e-ink devices for very tiny profit (*IF* they make profit on cheapest, add-supported kindles at all), making it up on books and content.

The OCR capability is awful. Camera is mediocre at best.
I do not have use for most of the apps that are available.
I do use their 14 e-book format support, SD card, nested directory library, user-installed fonts, dictionaries and, most importantly, configurability of the text presentation, such as fonts, font sizes, margins, hyphenation, justification, ...

I have owned a Kindle and other brands. You haven't even seen a PocketBook device.
