Well, if you like a highly customizable reader and are willing to read the Wiki/documentation on GitHub and here in the forum in order to get to know all the features, you will definitely get the best reading experience possible on a Pocketbook. (DRM not working, of course.)
I've customized the upper and lower status bar, tapping zones and gestures to my liking. The status bars contain more info; I can bring up menus and functions that I use often via gesture, swiping or tapping the corners. Margins, line and word spacing can also be fine-tuned.
I also prefer the much better dictionaries (English-German, English-English) I have found for KoReader.
Some minor things don't work as KoReader is not quite integrated into the Pocketbook system as Coolreader was. The developers are trying to resolve some of these issues, so that might change in the future.
You cannot start the device with the last page open as a screenshot during boot-up, but you can have the last book opened directly after the device has booted. This just takes a little longer.
If you want to update KoReader OTA, you have to turn on the Wi-Fi in the PB menu, then quickly open KoReader and go directly to the update function. I hardly use any other functions that need Wi-Fi as this can be a hassle most of the time.
Also, the covers of books opened with KoReader won't be displayed as an image when the device is powered off. You have to open the book with the PB reader for that.
The new firmware brings the "open with"-menu to the long tap on the homescreen and in the library, so switching between readers is really easy.
You just need to adjust the file "extensions.cfg" to have the menu display all the entries for KoReader and the two PB readers that you need.
