Indeed, Kobo devices are very balanced in quality, price and reading programs. Buying a Kobo is always a good decision. I personally miss a couple of things that are important to me: less dependence on the computer (needed for patching, kepub conversion, book organization...) and better color temperature adjustment. But these are minor problems that have to do with my personal taste.
I find the Onyx Boox Poke 2 a very good device. I wouldn't buy it to "exclusively" use KOReader. And not because it's malfunctioning. I insist that KOReader works well, runs fast, can be adjusted for screen refresh, and consumes very little battery power (I read on another forum that a user had problems with running KOReader. I have not had the slightest problem). I think the Poke 2 has a much higher potential to reduce it to KOReader and it is a very expensive device to use so restricted.
Is KOReader slow on Android devices? On the devices I use (Onyx Boox Poke 2, Tolino Shine 3, InkBook Prime HD) I do not consider KOReader to be slow. The developers have done a great job (special mention to the boost given by @pazos) and the performance is satisfactory. But it is clear that the biggest development of KOReader is in Kobo devices today. That's why buying a Kobo to use KOReader is a guarantee.
