The last has my personal preference when combined with the easy to implement Cool Reader. I just bought a new PocketBook because of this 'feature', regardless of the higher resolution of the Kobo. Also the black finish is less shimmery in direct sunlight.

Furthermore, the PocketBook Touch Lux 5 has 15 LEDs (8 white and 7 amber) and PocketBook does support sleep covers for a long time now.

Anyway, you can't go wrong with either!
Kobo is in no way a closed system. You can customize, patch and install alternate reading apps (KOReader, Plato) to your heart's content. Also manage your books and collections automatically with Calibre. In fact, Kobo is one of the most open and customizable readers out there.
