Why? I only ask as I've bought books from B&N, but have never bought any books where I needed to mess with Adobe, so I don't know how the two compare.

I was annoyed when B&N silently changed their encryption scheme as at the time I bought my first Nook, they touted their 'social' DRM.

Once the new way was cracked, it was okay. But I still thought B&N handled the change poorly and they switched from my primary source to a distant second.

One thing I don't like is that all of the retailers selling their own ereaders have dropped the external SD card readers. I have bought a lot of books from all the major retailers (or gotten free ones), and also downloaded from here and Project Gutenberg. None of the currently sold ereaders from Amazon, B&N and Kobo will hold my collection out of the box, but at least Kobo's ereaders can still be upgraded with a larger SD card if I'm willing to void the warranty.
Since e-readers tend to be underpowered devices, how does your Kobo handle having those gigs and gigs of books loaded on it?

I like the idea of loading all my books on a single reader, but haven't done it yet (though the Aura could handle it since it does have an SD card slot).
