Now the Nook firmware is minimalistic. I have no experience with Tolinos.

True about the Kindle firmware. But there are some things that are fixed and some don't like what's fixed. The line height is fixed at a minimal height that some find too large. There is a way around the margins and the line height. To get around the margins, use negative margins of -45px in hhtml in the CSS on a 300DPI Kindle and for the line height read with the ChareInk font. The metadata for the font is set to reduce the line height some.
Though the one thing Kindles are lacking is the ability to have collections manage by Calibre. Amazon took that away way back when due to too many people messing up their Kindles.
Kobo can have collections manage by Calibre and you can get the comment sent to the Kobo for the eBooks. So you can have the description of the book and whatever else you put in sent. Also Kobo understand series. So you can sort by series if you like.
Kobo reads ePub and KePub so you don't get the gotchas you get from KFX.
Also, the OP is coming from a nook and the nook reads ePub.
