Hi, I'm a Kobo Glo HD user & was going to buy my wife the same. However I see it's been discontinued & the Aura 2 is lower res. That brought me to the Kindle PW. However I seem to remember once before that I bought a kindle, and the ability to sideload from calibre was crippled - particularly with regards to organising things in collections. I also seem to remember that certain firmwares were a lot more limited as to what you could do. However reading around the forums, it looks like that can be solved by jailbreaking & using collections manager, and that can be done irrespective of firmware version?

So can I just check - as regards ease of sideloading & organising in calibre, are there any limitations of going to the kindle PW?

If I jailbreak to make sideloading easier, can I still buy & load things from the kindle store?

Thanks!
