Here If We take a Clara and a 'Touch HD 3 there is a substantial difference (119 € against 170 €) but the device is different: audio support, a Dual Core (2 × 1 GHz) processor for Touch H3D.
If we take a 7.8" - 8" screen device:
PocketBook InkPad 3 Pro, reader e-Book, 16 GB display E-Ink Carta da 7,8" , SMARTlight, Wi-Fi, IPX8 € 291.99
Kobo Forma Touch Screen 8 GB Wi-Fi, IPX8. 8": € 279,99 (but € 262,49 on Amazon).
The difference is not enormous here and PocketBook InkPad 3 Pro has some feature like audio support (Bluetooth with support for MP3 M4B and OGG) that someone could like. In general it is not simple to compare prices because the features are not exactly the same (a little larger screen for Forma and 16GB of space instead of 8GB for InkPad 3 Pro). And again a Dual Core processor for InkPad3 Pro.
But of course the prices of the devices depend on where You are.
I can compare only what I can see from sites, I own a Kobo (Aura One) but I don't own a PocketBook, if there is someone who owns them both and wants to write something, he/she can give a more precise opinion.
