Kobo Libra2.
I don't have any patches or 3rd party reader on most of my ereaders.
I've had or have iRiver, Sony, Nook, Amazon Kindles, Boyue Likebook Mars, Kobos.
The Kobo is best.
Kobo: I only have KOReader on the 10" Elipsa to autocrop larger PDFs.
Mars: Used for Android Library App (reader included). PDFs autocrop on native reader on 7.8" screen. The epub was poor, so KOReader downloaded as APKK direct on it from Git using builtin browser, but I really only use it for Library.
I've not seen any need to customise the original H2O, original Libra or Sage.
The Sony PRS350 is next best (5"). But Sony don't make them now. My Sony T1 went back for refund.
Kindle Paperwhite is next after the Sony. Kindle DXG is terrible (too heavy and low resolution for 9.7", too slow for PDFs. Only old Mobi and poor fonts). The Kindles with older than 3.x FW are poor. The Kindle Basic was low resolution.
I still have DXG, KK3 and a Paperwhite. Only used for serial numbers for Amazon and for testing ebooks created from wordprocessor files.
Nooks are a bit crippled.
Kindle always been behind on language support compared to Kobo. Prior to 3.x FW practically only Roman/Latin, no oriental, Hebrew, Arabic, Cyrillic, R to L or embedded publisher fonts. Only limited Greek characters in the Latin font.
Kobo is also best supported by Calibre. Best for export of annotation or import of collections or series data (Kobo Utilities on Calibre). Unlike Kindle you can easily change FW version and customise.
