So true.
Though I love my Nook STG that a got for Christmas last year, I recently pulled out my T1, rooted it, installed ereaderhome and put some books on it. (I should note that I use Sony defaults for everything except the home screens.) The difference is astounding. Automatic collections via calibre is the top one.
With my Nook I don't keep more than a handful of books on it because I don't have the patience to keep up with shelf maintenance, even using a metadata plugboard to append a prefix telling me which genre shelf a book goes on. I don't always know what I'm going to want to read a few days from now, so that leads to a lot of sideloading sessions.
I don't like managing things ON an ereader - I've already done all the work in calibre. With the T1, I just stick books on it, and they go where they are supposed to and where I can actually find them.
Like I said, I do love my Nook - that light makes reading much easier in many situations and I wouldn't give it up. But I'll be reading on the T1, too, because when I'm on a roll and reading book after book after book, the T1 features make that easier without having to stop and sideload every few days.
