File management versus search function, I am all for good search, but if you like me, reading books in different languages, you wont be able to search for them at all, file manager is the quickest way to conveniently access your content, all while reader manufacturers lagging at adding more languages...
I never could get the Kobo app to run on the rooted Nook. The Kindle app took locating an older version as an APK and even then crashed every hour or so. The only Sony DRM books I've run into use the standard Adobe ADEPT DRM so no need for a Sony app to open them, I don't have an BBeB books and saw little reason to obtaining any. The eInk speed up hack was fun though, in my personal opinion, it did little to make ebooks more readable and web pages were still far too slow to be really usable.
