I like the PocketBook's built-in reader(s) — ePub 2 and 3. But I don't do anything but read on it, so that's probably why.
As for font weight, I just install the Constantia font and use it for everything. It's just the right weight for me.
I like the text alignment options on the PocketBooks. I just get rid of the header and footer and read at 10 or 11 point font size (depending on my eyes on any particular day).
I don't like the built-in dictionary, but I've found a good Webster's English Dictionary (you used to be able to buy the Oxford English (Compact) Dictionary, but it's no longer available). I can't speak for other languages.
I semi-successfully installed KOReader on a Nook Glowlight, but it looked like a royal pain to set up. The Nook would go into boot loop mode each time I started it, and so I would have to use ADB to stop it (not KOReader's fault) so I uninstalled it. For now I put KOReader on the back burner. I don't really see why I would need it. I've read elsewhere that it doesn't render fonts as nicely as the built-in PocketBook software.
I use my PocketBook exclusively for reading so I can't speak for notebook features pro or con.
At any rate choice is good. I like the PocketBook readers.
