Why would you need an extra catalog on a Kobo to pull together all books in a series? Surely the Series field in the main GUI booklist does a good job of displaying this info - and it's a searchable field. Also I can't see why you'd need to change a book's name to include the series, for the same reason

I don't think so. I haven't seen an eink device or an Android ereading app which can do that.
@Sirtel,
When it comes to viewing a book's synopsis I do think a Kobo may have an advantage over a Kindle. On a Kobo you do not need to actually open a book to see its synopsis - which probably means it's a bit faster. This also has the added benefit of not affecting the list of 'recently opened' books in the GUI.
Having said this I'm pretty sure no eink device comes close to the abilities of the Calibre Companion app when it comes to ease/speed of swiping from one book's synopsis to the next when hunting your next read.
