No it isn't.
You know why? With Sony, I have to do it once. Once my stuff is organized in Calibre, I can plug in a Sony 950 or a Sony 650 or a Sony 350, and they will all
automatically receive all the shelving data.
I have a Nook Classic AND a Nook Color. The shelving data cannot be shared between the two. My 300 books from B&N would have to each be shelved TWICE -- once on the Nook Classic and once on the Nook Color. If I bought a Nook Simple Touch, I'd have to do it a
third time. It's duplication (and triplication, and quadruplication...) of work with no added benefit to the user. (And, additionally, it teaches them not to upgrade devices.)
And if the device ever resets to factory settings -- which mine once did after an update -- you have to do it all over again.
A system that cannot be shared between similar devices and cannot be backed up in event of catastrophe IS worthless. Basic programming 101.
