But there is another complaint about the PocketBook that some folks definitely want fixed. You can't change to justified text, if the book comes with a "ragged edge." That seems to bother some readers (probably more than some) who use the PocketBooks.
The PocketBook software is definitely less "tweakable" than the Kobo software -- but it has other features that, for me, more than make up for it.

I don't tweak my Kobos after the initial set-up, but that initial set-up must be just perfect for me. When it is, I barely ever touch the settings again (apart from the light). When I can't get it right because the options just aren't there, then I'll never be satisfied (sadly, such was my one and only experience with the Nook - beautiful hardware, but sorely inadequate software. I don't want to go through this frustration again).
Justification issues wouldn't bother me, as I edit my books anyway. The lack of weight adjustment certainly would, though - my absolute favorite, LexiaDama, is too light and thin without it. I've tried many other fonts, but I always return to LexiaDama.
As with everything, YMMV and does, of course.
