As has been mentioned already, a major factor is whether the educational books you intend to read only come as pdfs. If they do, then I second the suggestion that you get a tablet.
If the books are available from Kobo and Amazon in non pdf format, then the next factor is perhaps whether you just wish to buy and download directly to your ereader and avoid any use of a computer. In my opinion, Kobo and Kindles are the best at this. I think Amazon offers the best straight out of the box experience, but I prefer the Kobo reading software. Unfortunately, unless you start to get in to stripping drm and converting formats, you cannot buy from one store and read on the other's reader.
I happen to use a Pocketbook Touch HD (though I also have a Kobo H2O and a Tolino) and I love it, but to get the best out of it you really need to also use the Calibre software (and de-drm plug-ins) on your computer and install the Coolreader app on the Pocketbook.
A final factor could be screen size. The Pocketbook and Paperwhite are 6" screens whereas the Kobos you mention are bigger screens (personally, I prefer the 6" screen but many rave about the larger screens).
Though it always pains me to say it, I do think the Paperwhite is still a really decent introduction to ereading.
