I apologise in advance, I am new here and I know this question has been asked about various devices a million times but I suppose there is no harm in making it a million and one.

I am about to order 2 Kobo Touch, a Lilac for my wife and a Black or Silver for myself (any reason to go with one over the other?)

I have a collection of books in .mobi format, I assume the device should not have any trouble with them? Is one particular format better to use over another?

I saw someone mention somewhere that large collections were hard to navigate through? So if I copy over a few dozen books, how exactly do I load the book I wish to read, do i have to navigate through a folder structure or will it just display a list of titles alphabetically?

You all have about 2 hours to convince me I am making a bad decision, otherwise I think this will be the device for me lol.
