I don't use collections -- once you get enough books that the collection count climbs in the high hundreds, search is just so much easier that paging though 80+ pages of collections.
As for the "better than average uSD card", the Aura One and Forma both use eMMC for storage. When I look at the specs for the SanDisk eMMC in the Aura one, it is faster than the uSD cards I've used in other Kobo ereaders and yet the Aura One and Forma seem only slightly faster than my Clara HD.

Any thoughts? Any one here that went from Kobo to the Android EReader scene? |
I've only used two Android eInk devices. Compared to my Kobo devices, it was not a pleasant experience. The Tolino epos lacked many of the features such as series and fine grained font size I like in my Kobo devices while the Boyue T-62+(???) crashed often and had lousy battery life. Far more of the the 512MB of RAM in the Boyue was consumed by the OS compared to a Kobo Aura One which, I think, caused issues with several large PDF files. The antique version of Android used did not make me happy either -- several reading apps I wanted to try would not install and customization was a total PITA. I ended up passing it on to a nephew who wanted to play with it.
