Onyx's 9.7" screens have very sparse resolution, I'd say they are not worth it. The ppi should be above 200 to be tolerable.
Onyx's advantage as well as disadvantage is Android. In Android, in theory, you can install any app you like, but Android 4 is old, many apps are incompatible, the apps that install are not optimised for e-ink, and the entire Android 4 itself, modified by Onyx, is not too well optimised.
It's not to the point of being a dealbreaker for me though. And I have heard better things about the more modern Android 6 in the huge Onyx Max2 and Note.

On Android, Koreader is a hit and miss. On my Onyx (Android 4) I have given up trying to get it to work.
However, on Pocketbook Inkpad 3 (with a 7.8" screen, same screen as Kobo Aura One), it performs excellent. Koreader has both epub/txt and pdf/djvu reading capabilities with almost all possible settings you can imagine. If you have many pdf files to read, Koreader is a very welcome app. Koreader has its own subforum here
