I don't have a "horse in this race," as I'm probably never going to buy a Libra or an Oasis — but I definitely wouldn't make a buying decision based on this picture. Too many factors in play.
Well, some people do read mangas and it would count then. As to fonts, I don't think there are huge differences between modern midrange and premium readers. They're all good. Even if you don't care for the inbuilt fonts, you can load your own on most of them (well, the Nooks are an exception, but there's always embedding as the last resort).

Still, I'm waiting various comparisons by actual buyers with interest.
