I prefer the Sony PRS-350 and old LCD Binatone Readme (uses old RMSDK) to the rendering of Kobo kepubs. I only use kepub for test, though I understand the features people like on it. For reading actual novels with sensible minimalist formatting I see no problem with current Kobo RMSDK and epub2. Screen size, quality, font, and unobtrusive formatting (not trying to ape an egotistical crayon dept in a paper Publisher's office) is more important than RMSDK version.
I'm very happy with my original Libra (7") or Sage (8") because easy to read and page turn buttons. The Notebooks on Sage have allowed me to give up writer's notebook, journal/diary and workshop notebooks. I thought I'd use the Elipsa for those, but bought primarily for PDF; however when I saw how the notetaking worked I bought a Sage. The Elipsa is often too big & heavy as notebook.
I fix Gutenberg ebooks automatically, the house full of random penguins needs cleaned out by hand and the 50 or so titles I've done from Wordprocessor files rarely need more than 3 image css files edited to match the WP view using a small page size in LO Writer. But I'm not fussed with popup footnotes, or enlarging images by tapping, or multimedia (apps make epub3 look stupid). I want to read. I've given up text books, but they and colour coffee table books still really need paper, though a 10" eink isn't bad for PDF and a high quality 2K or 4K 24" screen for big colour books as PDF.
