@Waylander. I have a Clara HD and the Poke 2 (which has a fairly similar spec to the Poke 3).
I would not say the Poke beats the Clara in every respect - I find the screen slightly sharper on the Clara, battery life is definitely better (both having wifi switched off), and the in-built NeoReader (though improved in its V2 set-up) is still temperamental - refusing to open some epubs which other reader apps have no issues with. That said, the Poke is my everyday reader with my Clara left in my bedside drawer.
I think the reason my Clara is relegated to merely being a back-up in case of an accident, is because I find the Poke just so damn easy to use as a reader in my particular set-up in which I use Calibre server functionality. Calibre Companion has worked flawlessly for me, so getting books on and off my reader is a doddle.
Personally, I have yet to find a reading app which is perfect for me, but the Android aspect means one is rather spoilt for choice and the reader apps which have remained installed on my Poke are:
Koreader (as close as I have found to perfect, except it is the only app installed which has a tendency to "fail to respond" in use)
AlreaderX - very reliable, though its "pages in chapter" count does not exactly match actual screen pages.
Pocketbook - very reliable, though a messy UI.
Reasily - very simple. though slightly slower in navigation but I rather like it.
KnownReader (a fork of CoolReader) - perhaps my favourite save that I have found it impossible to get it to handle footnotes - so I avoid it for non-fiction and reference stuff.
