I'm a hardcore reader, and I use a Kobo Forma daily. I can't say enough good things about it.
Can purchase and download books from any shop, and they'll work in the Kobo, can add stuff like NickelMenu, Dropbox integration...
People complain about the power button on the Forma and rightfully so, as it's crappy. However, the quality build of the device is excellent. Got it almost since launch, take it absolutely everywhere with me (backpacks, bags, to the beach, swimming pool, camping...) and it shows 0 damage, not even a scratch.
I mainly read novels but it also scratches the itch for mangas and comics, as it also reads .cbz format (among others).
NOT GOOD FOR PDFs. They get displayed weirdly, hard to read, are slow to change pages...
Battery is great, better than the Sage's.
If you like reading, get a dedicated device because I swear you won't regret it.

So many dedicated reading devices seem to struggle to do a good job with pdfs.
