Yes, PocketBooks are slow but KOReader users say that KOReader makes them faster. I personally can't judge that because the 10.3" InkPad One has a new 64bit Rockchip processor and seems to be faster than older units.
If you have an opportunity, make a full size print-out of the 10.3" unit, blue it to a piece of cardboard and try holding it. I thought that 10" reader was big, because I have been using 6" or smaller devices for two decades. After a few weeks of use it looks just the right size and all smaller devices seem to be too small ;-). I still use 6" e-ink reader as my out-of-house portable unit. 10.3" device is too big for me to take to the beach or traveling or to the doctor's waiting room.
I use Linux at home so I also installed KOReader to my PC and set the window to the size of 10.3" display to see what the real device would look like. It wasn't that big when viewed on a 24" monitor ;-).
Go and buy whatever device suits your needs the best. I just wanted to list the possibilities. I have friends that say the 10.3 unit is too big even after they had an opportunity to hold it in their hands, admire the gorgeous Mobius display and see the good typography (including things like proper kerning, ligatures and hanging punctuation) that KOReader provides.
