Everyone has their preferences. I like the fact that all of my novels look the way I want them to look. Also getting to the TOC seems to be standard, tap once in the center then choose from the menu bar. Many readers use this to get to their menu or options feature.

I use CC and simply load all of my (10,000+) books onto my device. This way I never have to worry about connecting to the cloud or any other device to retrieve the book I want.

There is nothing to learn. In Calibre Companion you will see all of the same sorting options you see in Calibre. All of the Tags, Authors, Special column info etc right there on your device. See attached for a small sample.

I don't normally point anyone away from CC but in your situation the Calibre Cloud app might be a good choice. I don't know how it will deal with the Kindle ecosystem. But in my Nexus it accesses Dropbox directly and gives a nice presentation and search abilities. In my case I did not want to access my entire Dropbox library because there are quite a few books in my "working" virtual library and Calibre Cloud shows the entire library in Dropbox. But if you have only one complete finished library residing in Dropbox then this might be a good choice for you.
