This is the biggest drawback to Pocketbook. Both Kobo and Kindle can adjust font weight.

Personal preference really.
If font weight is important, then switching to Koreader fixes that; and on a Pocketbook I'd advise using Koreader anyway (unless your books are DRMd). You can set Koreader as the default app to launch books directly from the Pocketbook's library, so the experience is seamless.
I've configured Koreader to be as minimalist as possible, zero distraction. No page numbers, progress bar, time, battery indicator etc. Just text. I can with a tap quickly bring up (toggle) a toolbar with that info, but by default it's all hidden. I've set the top two corners to toggle dark mode and touch-input. I leave brightness and warmth settings to be controlled by the inbuilt Pocketbook scheduler I have configured to my preference. Simple minimalistic reading bliss.
I've also set Koreader to override an ebook's font (type, size, weight), margins, line spacing, indentation etc. So pretty much any book I read looks the way I like without ever having to edit it in Calibre; as I tend to acquire all my books directly on the device itself it's extremely convenient.
