If by "Amazon Kindle 2020" you mean the basic Kindle with 167 dpi screen, I would go with the Touch Lux 4 (and its 212 dpi screen).

Otherwise...
Advantage of the Kindle... Amazon's infrastructure easy book buying.
Advantage of the Touch Lux 4... built in ADE so you can buy your ePub books anywhere without ADE on your computer (a big point for a Linux user like me).

Also, for me, the PocketBook's page turn buttons are an advantage. So are the margins (with the Touch Lux 4 you can read in full-page mode and set the margins right to the edge of your screen). The Touch Lux 4 has a DropBox app built in, allows you to sync any book you buy (from any source) on the PocketBook cloud. Has a very good "sister" Android app (which also allows you to read DRM ePubs). Has the Send-To-PocketBook feature. Even has a few games... Chess, Klondike and Sudoku (not that I play these games but some might want to). The PocketBook also supports somewhere around 17 book formats (though I always use ePub anyhow). And, if the Touch Lux 4 is like my PocketBooks, it will probably have a much longer battery life than the Kindle.

I like my PocketBooks.
