Indeed it all depends on what one is comparing with. Kindle cannot be compared with any other device straightforwardly, because Kindle does not display epubs, while all other devices do.

In my experience, the inbuilt Pocketbook reader is sufficient. You can set margins and line density beyond what is needed, install your own fonts without obstacles, and this is enough for most purposes. The only thing I am missing is inverted screen, but this (plus a host of other refinements, such as adjusting pics embedded in epubs) is fixed by installing Coolreader and Koreader.

Different from Kindle, installing other software is unproblematic on Pocketbooks. And different from Kindle, Pocketbook devices open a bunch of formats instead of only those bought from Amazon. And the 7.8" screen is large enough for viewing pdf and djvu files of all sorts.
