Hi folks,

I own a Kindle Touch and always loved it.
Now I wanted to upgrade to a device with light.
I got a bit insecure, reading about issues with the new firmware 5.4.2 for PW2 and problems with collections.
I have a few purchased amazon books, and more sideloaded (via the kindle email-adress). I did store them in collections, but wouldn't have a problem rearranging them into collections of neccessary.

I didn't fully understand these issues with the new firmware: does the pw2 case problems with sideloaded books? Or are they not stored in the cloud and synced anymore?

On another hand: I was considering the Kobo Aura, since I imagine that I can use dropbox to keep the books and highlights in sync, and read across multiple devices using dropbox. Is that correct, or do I imagine it too easy?
