I do like Kobo devices. I think they have the most balanced reading programs on the market. The problem with Poke 2 is that it does not have a reading program for epub with DRM, nor does it respect the internal styles of the documents. You have to use Apps like Amazon Kindle, Google Play Books, PocketBook Reader or Nook. These Apps work well using the Onyx application optimization system, but are more limited than a reading program fully adapted to electronic ink. It's not a problem for me since most of my books are read with AlReaderX or KOReader, but I think it's a mistake that Onyx hasn't developed a reading program for those types of files. On a Kobo device, you can use its reading programs for epub and kepub, and you can also install alternative reading programs such as KOReader and CoolReader (and some other that I haven't used). Not all of us have the same tastes, and that's why there are different options. Personally I prefer to use KOReader on an Android device than on a Kobo because the Android utilities provide me with more convenience for sending and managing books and files. And if you also have the beautiful screen of the Tolino Shine 3, even better. But we don't all see things the same way.
