Just for fun, here's a detail that makes me like any Pocketbook over Kobo and Onyx: Startup.
During switchon, Pocketbook can open up the last book where you left off (provided that you were reading it in the stock reader or Coolreader). This makes the device startup quick and convenient, and switchoff a nonissue.
My Onyx starts up slow, as expected from Android. Additionally it struggles to connect to the microSD card. The whole procedure to get a book open takes at least a whole minute.
Kobo is most frustrating of them all. Startup and opening up a book is quick enough, like Pocketbook, but then Kobo needs to go "processing content" which for some unfathomable reason is a foreground process that kicks you out of the book you just opened. (There's a similar automatic refresh in Pocketbook too, but it's wisely a background process and does not kick you out of the opened book.) Because of this, I avoid Kobo's software entirely.
