Yes - you set up collections in Calibre (check the mobileread wiki for details), and they're automatically managed on the Kobo. It's a piece of cake.

After that, "interesting" depends on you. The firmware is almost all the same; collections management is the same on all devices.

I'm guessing that in Brazil, Overdrive integration is not of interest (I'm pretty sure it's not there yet). Do you want a larger device, do you want waterproofing, do you want the user-controllable light temperature? Or are you after a lower end six inch device on a budget?

(btw: there are no backlights on eink devices. The lights are frontlights.)
