Individual needs are in there too. If I were reading a whole lot of nonfiction with heaps of footnotes, I imagine difficulty tapping them might seem like a huge deal. I read almost entirely novels in my Kobo, so I'm pretty much completely unbothered by footnote handling.

Calibre-managed collections and reasonable typography and fine font/display adjustment, on the other hand, is a huge deal to me. (And yes, I have thrown paper books against the wall for bad faillings in this regard.) There are others who are perfectly happy to always read Caecilia in the default size in Kindle default layout and also never think much about collections, and for them the Kindle is a perfect device.
