Yes, the Carousel needs to be improved. Some people want shelves or something within books, but I probably wouldn't take the time to manually organize stuff. If something doesn't recognize book metadata (tags, etc) I'm not gonna bother. I didn't do it with the NOOKcolor for the same reason. But don't the eInk devices have collections that can be synced?
There are quirks. I have a Sony Tablet, so my expectations may be different than someone who doesn't own an open Android tablet and was hoping this would fill the void. The limitations and shortcomings compared to an open tablet don't detract from me having a great experience with the device.
If it were more than $199 perhaps I'd feel differently. I paid the same amount for an eInk device a few weeks ago.
