I actually have a problem with having a lot of stuff that is the same, or almost the same, if it is intended for active use.
If I have two devices and they both have a very specific purpose, like a tablet for PDF's and an e-reader for novels, then there is no problem, and I can have both of them.
However, if there are two devices that are different, but greatly overlap (for example, a Kobo Aura and a KPW2), then I have a problem. I'd always be fidgeting about which one to use.
I understand that there are people who have no problem; they just go like: "I read my Amazon books on the Kindle, and the Kobo books on the Aura, so there's no problem." For me, there is, because Calibre greatly blurs and sometimes even erases the differences between the two readers.
I'd rather have two of the same readers, one being a backup for the other, switching between them every other week, or if they are different, two readers that are 2 or 3 generations apart, so there is no question about which one is the backup and which one is the one in active use.
