I have been using Kobo for many years and was impressed by the excellent interaction with calibre, side loading, long battery life, etc.
I used the Kobo Clara and the Kobo Libra 2, among others. But the last software updates were simply catastrophically unstable. This was not due to calibre but rather due to the database error in the Kobo software (see Kobo Forum).
Since then I have been using Pocketbook (Touch HD 3, Inkpad Color 3) and I am very satisfied. The Pocketbook software is simply much more robust and I haven't had any problems since then. The only noticeable thing is that the battery life of the Pocketbooks seems to be slightly shorter than that of the Kobos.
