Performance is the other issue. The devices are designed to be low power and hence have low-end CPUs and not much RAM. For small, simple PDFs the performance is probably acceptable. The larger and more complex the PDF, the worse it get.
This has been the case for all the time I have been using Kobo ereaders. There has been no real changes to how the Kobo firmware handles PDFs. I do not think Kobo have any plans to change this. So, do not buy a Kobo ereader for PDF reading thinking that it will improve. It almost definitely won't.
I don't use Koreader, so I won't comment on it.

Great, thanks for the help.
I was all set to buy an N96 for pdf's but then I found many posts by academics or people who also like me need to read pdf's whereby they say that the Aura One is the best pdf solution (although flawed) and I am trying to understand what it is about the Aura one that they found to be better
