Collection management on a Kobo is probably as painful as on the Kindle. I haven't tried the latter, so I don't really know.
You're right, in my hurry I did leave out using Calibre and the Kobo driver to transfer books to the reader. Probably because I can't imagine ereaders without Calibre.

And yes, doing it manually on any brand reader is just as painful. Something I'd never waste my time doing.
