Yes, the Pocketbook supports more formats. I don't recognise some of them so I don't know how useful they are. From the specs page for both...

Pocketbook Touch Lux 3
Quote:
Formats of e-books PDF, PDF (DRM), EPUB, EPUB(DRM), DJVU, FB2, FB2.ZIP, DOC, DOCX, RTF, PRC, TCR, TXT, CHM, HTM, HTML, MOBI, ACSM
Formats of images JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF
Kobo Aura (and all current Kobo ereaders)
Quote:
eBooks: EPUB, PDF, and MOBI
Images: JPEG, GIF, PNG, and TIFF
Text: TXT, HTML, XHTML, and RTF
Comic Books: CBZ and CBR
Supports ePub and Adobe DRM. Read books borrowed from your public library
As I would convert most of the formats to epub, the CBR/CBZ puts the Kobo ahead. But, I can see the benefit of dropping a Word document on the device quickly to take to a meeting or sit in the sun (not that we have any of that today).
