PocketBook works with "Calibre" very well "Plug & Play" and without a problem, the same we can not rist about the Kindle

Kobo works very well with Calibre. You can even manage collections for Kobo. Plus, there are other pluginns for Kobo such as the Kobo Extended Driver is you want to read using kepub. And there is Kobo Utilities for doing a lot of things including auto-backups. Kobo is not closed.
[quiote]Kobo
(with the latest Update) and Kindle have faster, more reactive OSs. It is true. But the forest is debatable.
1) Can KOBO or KINDLE work with PDF formats, do functions like "
reflow,
Cropping of page." and so on? Neither KOBO nor KINDLE can handle
PDF correctly, and offers no other features
(only zoom). Pocketbook is unbeatable.
2) As Kobo or Kindle as good
file manager as Pocketbook? No, Pocketbook is much better on this - Show folders by format (epub, mobi, pdf et)
3) Can KOBO device has a bluetooth and can read Audio-books?
*Some Kindle features do not work in other states and you need to be in the country how "US", or you can use some features in English only, and that's a good half of all the features that Kindle offers.
4) Does Kobo or Kindle allow you to scroll through two open documents / books?
5) Can KOBO or Kindle "text-to-speech" TTS? Kindle can do it only in English.
*In addition, kindle SW only works in English speaking countries. Some features like read statistics only work with KEPUB formats.[/quote]
1.A 6" Reader is worthless for PDF. It doesn't matter how good the software is. It just doesn't work.
2. Yes, Pocketbook is better with
directory support.
3. No Bluetooth for Kobo. But I don't want Kobo to play audiobooks. My Reader is for reading. If I want to play audiobooks, I have other equipment I can use such as my iPhone.
4. Kobo and Kindle do not allow two open files at the same time.
5. Kobo cannot do TTS.

- Luckily, there are a crew / bunch of people (geek1001 etc)working on a correction packages Kobo Developer's Corner.
If these repair packages were not, I would really hesitate to buy KOBO..
In fact, I use 80% more the "Koreader" as a KOBO reader 
Before, I used "KOBO Forma" on which PDFs were absolutely unusable. Then I went to the Pocketbook Inkpad 3 "7.8" which has an adequate "read-in" function to read a PDF document that offers professional e-Reads (eNotes) like Onyx BOOX, Likebook etc
PS : All readers have some minor flaws, there are 100% the best, but I certainly would not call Pocketbook as worse.

The patches are not correction packages. They are modifications/enhancements. There are very few patches for the current 4.17.x to correct bugs. Only one is listed as correcting a bug and it's not really a bug that's being corrected. So please don't spread false information like this.
