If you don't like that the kobo tend to respect css, well... It is easily fixed for those that care enough I suppose.

The reason I tried (and like) Tolinos was that I was looking for a device that could be completely independent of a computer. Since I use Linux and don't have ADE, I can't easily edit ePubs. It's also why I tried the PocketBook 615, although I really can't test the "download from bookstores" feature since this particular 615 has no WiFi ― and, as far as I can tell, even the WiFi versions of the Basic Lux didn't have a browser anyhow. I'm also reluctant to use KePub because of the way it counts screens as pages.
As for properly recognizing CSS, I understand both sides of this argument. But, again, fixing an ePub (when I learn to do it) means more back and forth between a computer and the device, which is what I'm trying to avoid.

But I do like Pocketbook. I still have my old 903 Pro, and I liked my Inkpad 3. I got a Forma mostly to get some epub 3 support (for my personal creations).
Actually Pocketbook is the one I tend to recommend most, because it's browser is good and with the adobe-drm support you can loan from libraries directly from the e-reader, which is a very common request (in my fb-group (local for my country)).
I'm glad there are several good choices.  |
I do wish PocketBook had a "presence" in the U.S. Online support is hard to find (in English anyhow, if I could read and understand Russian I would be drowned with information.)
At any rate, thank you for the comments. I'm probably going to be asking some questions about PocketBooks on the PocketBook forum. I'm also going to look into the PocketBook app for my phone. (If it's available in the U.S.)
