I hope you will help me a lot.
...In return, since I am not an expert, I just will thank you.
I have two ereaders.

Kobo Glo HD:

I have a Kobo Glo HD. It cannot be accessed via USB anymore. In fact, it is not recognized by the PC. I wonder if that is a COMMON KOBO FAILURE.
Therefore, initially I could not upload it with new books from my PC. In addition, as KOBO recommended me a fresh start, by doing it, lost all old books. I was to through the thing away to the wastebasket, except that suddenly, I discovered an opened backdoor to upload books from the PC (as converted by Calibre) by wifi (not a standard feature of KOBO as it is with PocketBook, I suppose just to press you to buy KOBO´s library books). I do not dare to publish it openly so that anyone thinks of closing it.
The sleep cover I bought is absolutely destroyed, it appears as a beggar’s e-reader with all my respect and compassionate for them.
Good things of the KOBO: dictionaries are great (I did prefer the previous Merry and Webster for castellan Spanish- Spanish over the current Larousse, but I admit the latter to be better for other Hispanic Spanish
Otherwise, I did not authorize it previously with ADE, so I cannot use it to read public library borrowed books...therefore, I decided to buy a new e-reader, but no more KOBOS this time.

PocketBook (PB) Touch 3 HD:
Initially it results alien the way to pass pages (if not using the appropriate buttons) and the use of the dictionary as compared to the KOBO, but after a while you get used to it.
With the PB you can upload books from any source by using an specific e-mail address (send to PB), Dropbox, or via USB, etc..
The only thing, I am not happy about, are that western languages dictionaries are very substandard (I suppose very good for easter ones, including Russian); that´s something to improve (I am looking for a better “.dic” which I hope it would be easy to install).
Also, the translation of the displays as well as the User Manual to Spanish lack precision.
And that´s all, I hope it would have been read by someone with interest.
