KOReader works best on Kobo devices.

However, the basic configuration, i.e. the operations we usually perform when reading a book, are the same on all devices of any other brand. The differences in execution are in practice negligible. And, in my opinion, KOReader can run satisfactorily on any compatible device. But the best development is offered for Kobo devices. Beyond Kobo all devices of other brands have "quirks", which are more or less annoying depending on the tastes and needs of each user.

I prefer to use KOReader on PocketBook devices, not because it works better, but because I like some features that I don't find on other devices and that are important to me: fine tuning of the colour temperature (0-100), integration of KOReader in the PocketBook system and interface (it doesn't look like an add-on reading program) and low battery consumption compared to other brands' devices. In my particular case these features take precedence over the better performance offered by Kobo in other aspects.

But to the initial question there is only one honest answer (beyond individual tastes): KOReader works better on a Kobo device (which one to choose is another problem).
