hierarchical directories are inefficient and clumsy. I much prefer Amazon's (and the majority of competitors') tag-based system.

Of course, it helps if the tags are hierarchical. Which the Kindle Touch/PW1/PW2 does, via the Collections Manager kindlet.

Basically, Amazon Kindles have a more active MR development community, which makes the Kindle a better choice for someone choosing between Kobo and Kindle and Nook, at least.

True enough, though, that Amazon tries hard to close any holes which allow us to improve our Kindles... nested collections were closed by Cloud Collections, on fw>=5.4.2 for KPW1/2.
