The main advantage & disadvantage of Android is "options".
Nickel - Less options - simpler machine, easier to use.
Android - More options - customization, do things the way
you like them.
No need to wait for Kobo to listen to your prayers.
For me, my first big problem with nickel was the lack of tag support.
With 3500+ books, I read looking through tags, and the only way to do it was to use calibre to convert them to collections.
But calibre can't send non-latin (Unicode) characters as filenames. And if I try to use Koreader, or Coolreader to read a book, I have to guess the Latin name that calibre converted the book to, so, no-go ...
Plus, with Android, I can adjust everything the way I like it, I have many (and better) readers for everything, better dictionaries, better net browsing, even multi touch.
Battery, I think is better with nickel, though I haven't use it for long.
