I don't need color but I didn't want to exclude the Kobo. I don't think the Kobo Libra 2 is produced anymore.
Technically, which is the better reader?
I need:
USB-C
Waterproof
I would like:
Flush screen (no dirt in edges)
Fast response/refresh time
Privacy focused / no Ads or collection of private data / Less store integration
KO Reader

I think they all have USB-C and are IPX8 water rated. I think they can all do KOReader too.
The Kobo does not have a flush screen. It is very responsive and refreshes fast but be aware color has contrast tradeoffs some find unacceptable. Personally I really like mine. There's no ads on Kobo and you can use a sideload mode to even sidestep logging in with a Kobo account.
I haven't used the Pocketbooks or a pocketbook at all so I can't comment on them too much. I think based on specs they might be slower but perhaps the software makes up for it.
