With the Onyx T68, the onboard browser is inadequate, it takes forever to scan or perform a search of my library. A Unix-based device, like my old Boox A60 offers a folder based access, but again the search and sort functions are inadequate.

It would be perfectly reasonable to expect me to do my sorting and searching in Calibre, but I would prefer to do it on the reader.

If Kindle Voyage is able to perform such tasks, I can only wait in anticipation for Amazon to release a reader with a 7 or even better 8 inch screen.
The Kindle fully indexes every book as it's added, which allows you to search both for titles/authors and for text within books. Just timed it on my Voyage, and any search completes in under 2s.

I don't have the slightest difficulty in locating books on the Kindle. As well as searching for books, you can also browse the library and jump directly to any point in the sort order when browsing by author or title (eg in author sort mode I can type in "chr" to jump to the point in the sort sequence where my Agatha Christie books are).
