For reading in a second language, which accounts for a lot of the reading that I do, the A5 is far superior to my Kobo devices because you have the ability to install a lot more dictionaries and use a variety of dictionary apps.
I prefer it to my Onyx devices for second language reading because it is a lot easier to select words and phrases to look up than on the Onyx devices. Sometimes, it can take me a few attempts to select the specific characters I want on my Onyx devices whereas I can usually do this on my first attempt on my A5.
For casual reading, as others have mentioned, I like the aspect ration of the A5 as it is very similar to reading a column in a magazine or a newspaper.
For PDfs, I much prefer the greater screen real estate offered by my Onyx devices.
These days, I virtually never use my Kobo devices. Just charge them up every so often to keep the battery healthy.
