You like using search, I like it too. You ended up not even using shelves. I like browsing by my authors, the thing is that neither search, nor shelves give me the opportunity to do-is to have subsets, multi level organization. File manager gives that opportunity- why not have a choice.
Database is a programming issue and programming decision, it is huge, reader takes long to generate it and update it, so- we need to be able to choose when and how we deal with it- when we have time overnight- plug it in and let it chug along, when we travel- put a card in, have file manager to see our structured files and be ready in minutes. We should not choose either your way or mine, we should have both.
My control over my reader screen is important to me- let me choose what and when appears there, you'd like to see suggestions, live updates - fine, have it. Those choices are not something that is impossible, it is quite possible and achievable right now, why not insist that devices we buy with our own money give us those choices?

I think I agree with your assessment Theonna, There is no reason why we cannot have a choice. That way both yourself and DNSB can be on the same page or not because you can configure for either option. The main thing we all seem to be striving for is flexibility! And why not?, We all need to be in control of a some small things in life and setting our reading prefs is a small thing to ask but a huge thing to the world of KOBO. Making the reader interface flexible does several things. 1) guarantees loyal user base
2)furthers the enjoyment of the user whilst reading, 3) helps to organize the books or menu in a more logical intuitive way that customizes our reading experience on an unprecedented personal level... Again ramping up loyalty by simple enjoyment.
