My opinion would be ereader that supported one format perfectly. As long as it was the format I wanted it to support and they took my definition of perfectly

Kobo supports a lot of formats. But, the MOBI support is for older versions and DRM free only. It does PDF, but not reflow and the navigation if you need to zoom in is clumsy. CBR/CBZ are well supported, but, again, clumsy if zooming is needed. epub support is very good using the Adobe RMSDK so supports Adobe DRM. They also have their own format , "Kobo ePub" or kepub. This is basically an epub but uses a different renderer and has some slightly different rules (eg ignore widows and orphans in the CSS) but some advantages (eg. popup for footnotes, some nice in-book statistics).
That sounds pretty sick. I guess I'll be going with a Kobo. Thanks for the confirmation

This can be done on any device.
I want to organise my books by genre, since I have like 1000+ ebooks it's hard to browse a long list of books :/ Thanks for the tip though!
