My opinion: PRS-505 wins over Libre. I don't know about the Kobo.

I had the Libre at home for a week and what I didn't like about it was the screen. First, it has a sort of greenish background color that I couldn't get used to. E-ink has more of a gray background color that I found easier to accept. Second, I found that the screen is not very readable in low/medium indoor (artificial) light and in such situations is very sensitive to the angle at which the reader is held. The Sony is not great in low light either, but definitely better.
