How is it disingenuous? Out of the box, KAO and Oasis, according to the post I cited, have similar reading areas. I'm posting about information that affects MY decision-making. I'm at a point with my e-readers where I want something to work out of the box the way I want it to work. I also almost exclusively read Overdrive books so I do not have my own books to convert/manage. I'm really into the most simple streamlined experience with my daily ereader.
I've used Calibre in the past, I've dealt with tethering my Nook to the PC and dealing with DRM. I even have a 10 year old plus version of Rockbox on my MP3 player. So I'm well aware of processes to alter or replace systems in e-products. I enjoyed the process many years ago. Nowadays, I don't and I just want it simple.
