Anyway, I just mean that if you bought a used H2O for € 50, for example (not sure what you mean by extremely cheap), imo you'd be getting an excellent device. I'm sure the same applies to a roughly equivalent Kindle. The Libra is € 180.
Of course if I'd already made up my mind and budgeted ~200 for the purpose then whatever. 
For KOReader support definitely the Libra, but one question potentially worth asking is whether PocketBook has better build quality? |
eInk Readers are generally of a similar build quality due to them using glass backed screens. There are some now with plastic backed screens such as the Kobo Forma. And yes, you will read about more Kobos getting broken then Pocketbook not because of build quality but because many more people have a Kobo and some are not all that careful (i.e., no case, put it in a bag with too much other stuff, etc.). Kindles break as well. Just look on eBay. You'll find some Readers for sale for parts because the screen is broken.
