But if you WANT to manage your books....Calibre is wonderfully supported.
An interesting claim that calibre is "wonderfully supported" on any iOS device. Perhaps you can give details of how this wonderful support is delivered since my experience with using calibre and iOS devices definitely does not fall into the "wonderfully supported" range. Is it the ease of transferring ebooks over USB? Transferring multiple ebooks over wireless? Editing metadata, series info, etc. and being easily able to use this information on the iOS device?

iPad Air       456 grams WiFi only (10.5" screen)
Ipad           469 grams WiFi only (9.7" screen)
Hmmm... at over 50% heavier, I suspect quite a few people would consider the iPad Mini to be heavy compared to Kobo and Amazon's large screen ereaders. Especially after holding it for a couple of hours.
