Having said that, I do think the value of the Sony devices is higher for several features that don't always get mentioned on the box. Being able to load ANY CALIBRE METADATA I WANT to the device to be sorted by "Sony collections" is freaking awesome, and if I'd known about that a year ago, my first e-Reader would have been a Sony. 
I don't understand the Nook/Kobo method of not supporting collections/folder browsing in a meaningful manner. Surely a major selling point for most people is being able to carry around their entire library at all times?? Having everything tossed into a single library is unfeasible once you own more than 50 books, imho.
Sony (and PocketBook) seems to understand how "heavy user" readers read. I'm not sure why the others haven't caught up as much -- Calibre metadata has been asked for with the Nooks since day one, no? |
I'm not sure of the Kobo but the nook does use collections, they call it "My Shelves" You create your "Shelf" and catogorize it and name it anyway you want.
I thought you said you own a nook, surely you would have known about the feature. Just because they don't call it "Collections" doesn't mean they don't have it
Again it's called "My Shelves" It's very well laid out on the the nook color and the Nook STR.
For example on mine I've created "OnDeck" "Horror/Thiller" "Freebies" "Humor" "Instructional" etc etc.
