By ereaders I generally mean actual eink ereaders. Many people use a phone or tablet out of convenience, for actual reading 4 to 12 hrs at a go the eink wins.

I used to buy software. Sometimes I still do. However if I spend twice the price of my phone and three times the price of my tablet on a NEW dedicated eink reader, I expect all the software needed to be built in.

The OP was I assumed writing about dedicated Kobo ereader hardware, not the iPhone or Android phone/tablet ecosystem. I'd pay even $10 for a decent Android ereader that had decent book & annotation management. I've donated to Calibre and use it nearly daily. I've no interest in putting Calibre Companion on my Android phone or tablet.
So no need for snide remarks about lattes.
I worked as a paid programmer for many years. I know what decent software costs to design and implement.
