I'm happy to hear about the Era's screen. I was seriously looking into buying one but wanted to buy from Newegg again (and they took forever to get them in, now they're not even a PocketBook dealer at all). By the time they did get them I had read reports about the screen and lost interest. (Just as well, I've got way too many eReaders.)
Like you, I like the shape of InkPad 4 better -- just a bigger version of my HD 3 (but I don't like the InkPad's 7.8" screen size). I also like the lighting from the bottom up rather than from the side. Agree on the flexibility of the PocketBooks, that's one of the main reasons I like them more than the others (that and built-in ADE).
I considered installing KoReader on the PocketBook, but I like the built-in application just fine. And I always worry that KoReader will use more battery. (My HD 3 has held its charge extremely well.)
