Xodo, Pocketbook and Nebo are far far better than KOReader for PDF on Android. I used KOreader for epub for a while on Android eink, but prefer to fix broken epubs in Calibre, also figured the epub settings in the native ereader. I used KOReader for PDFs on the Elipsa until Kobo updated the crop on PDFs to work properly.

Sage actually has more pixels than Elipsa. With the crop per document on more recent Kobo FW, the PDF is fine for many instruction books etc, but magazines, larger scanned book, datasheets and service manuals are useless. The 11" Nxtpaper is far better than my Lenovo 10" tablet was. Also as good as ink in being "like paper" if the eink front light is on.

But hopefully next year kobo comes out with brand new 7-8 inch BW devices.

I've 5, 6, 6.8, 7, 7.8 and 8" and I find the 8" Sage best for novels or BW PDF content that fits after margin crop.
The 9.7" Kindle was worst purchase ever.
I used the 10.3" Elipsa for about 4 weeks. Better than the Kindle DXG, but too heavy for novels and few PDFs better on it than the 8" Sage, and not good enough, not big enough for many PDFs.
I've switched to Nxtpaper 4G phone (not 5G model) instead of 4.7" and 5" eink for really portable reading.
I'll probably get the Nxtpaper 14 in January and pass on the Nxtpaper 11 to another family member. I passed on the Elipsa and reMarkable (terrible SW design well executed). I considered the Kindle Scribe till I saw how locked in it was to Amazon.
I never thought Kaleido 3 color eink was viable and seeing a recent Onyx model first hand convinced me. Gallery needs to be 100x faster to compete with Nxtpaper.
