As of easy, I find the H2O to be very easy to use. I use it with Calibre and making collections is trivial.

Mobi is good enough for me. But aside from that normally I agree making collections on a kobo is trivial but since we got the last firmware update, 3.19.5761, I've had nothing but trouble with both my Kobos and collections. Only last Friday I sent 500 books to my Kobo H20, after yet another factory reset, and even though my settings on Calibre are correct to setting up collections not one book actually went into a collection. I had to remove them and send them again, which then worked. No idea why it worked the second time, it just did, but the time I spend 'managing' a kobo device I'm not reading.
For me collections are vital, I have far too many books, far too many genres, not to need collections, and for me a) I don't like the direction kobo is taking with its devices and b) certainly this year the software is not stable.
Circling back to the OP and ereader choices. Regardless of any of our preferences the reader that works is the one the user wants and works for them. For some it is kobo and for others it is Kindle. I wish Amazon wasn't so powerful but it is, but for me Amazon is the easiest and most logical choice.
