I wouldn't say "better" so much as "what I'm used to". I subscribe to Mantano's cloud, so the requirement to store synchronized books on internal storage was the first bummer (though Mantano should allow using the Mantano private directory on secondary storage, shouldn't it? Need to check into that.)
I prefer to keep my ebooks broken out into several directories based on type and how often they change. I have a fairly dynamic fiction group, a mostly static (and growing) reference group, and PDFs. CC seems to only like to work with one directory, while I can set Mantano to read from multiple directories split between primary and secondary storage.
I also like Mantano's tags with the document type and sync status on the library display. I can probably replicate all the shelving/tagging options using CC, but I paid for Mantano long ago and was perfectly happy using a single app for all my reading needs until recently. Mantano seems to be struggling with large collections lately (see other post), so I've moved my fiction reading off to Moon+.
I also want to keep the book reading progress display in the shelf view in Moon+. I wish Mantano provided that feature. Sure, I can still use it, but now I have two shelf views (Moon+ and CC) where one was sufficient before.
None of this is the end of the world. I just hate having to adjust my workflow once I have everything working the way I like it.
