I returned my HD 6 today. I did get it set up as i wanted it to be but ended up realising that my ipad mini gives me exactly the same functionality as the HD and in some cases better options.
The main issues I had with the HD 6 was
1) Personal Documents (which in my case are all ebooks) only show covers in the Carousal or the collections view. In list view the covers are not shown, just the book title (can't remember if the authors are shown, but I don't think so)
2) Collections view does not have the ability to sort by either recent, title or author. Thats only possible in List view
So in a nut shell my collection of 183 books can show me covers but i can't sort it at all, and the list view, which is all my personal document collections compiled together, can sort but doesn't show me any covers.
The ipad app does both these things, and it doesn't split books and personal documents up into two seperate sections either.
I didn't delve too much into the books section as the majority of my 'books' are personal documents. I know i could use Calibre Collections but i can use Calibre with Marvin on my ipad mini and get practicaly the same result.
I was probably stupid to even get the HD 6 in the first place but i wanted a smaller form that my ipad mini. I'm going to get a thinner lighter case for my mini instead and work with what i have.
I honestly didn't expect the free ios app to have better functionalty than their own Fire tablets.
