Yes, I agree. I've used iRiver, Binatone, apps on Android, Nook, Kindle (from Keyboard to PW3, maybe tested 6 models, owned four), two Sony models, three Kobo models.
Kobo is best for collections, annotation & export (Kobo Utilities in Calibre). The home page wastes 2/3rds space, the current firmware has some stupidity (no home link or WiFi off on reading page, bookmarks and Highlight/Annotations stored together).
It has collections, subtitles, metadata (direct from Comments in WP book properties via Calibre), decent enough search and sort options.
I have a Kindle PW3 also, partly to test and partly to buy Amazon books (download to PC option) which I then read on Kobo.

You need Calibre. Then Kobo is the best choice. The Libra is €100 cheaper than Forma here and same price as the H20 ver.2.

I used an imaginary email address to sign into the Kobo Libra.
I found that with the Kindle that the only way to use it without a bank/credit card was to use a working email address on a new Amazon account and send a gift voucher from my real account. Then on the Kindle sign in screen I put the voucher code.
So I have two Kindles, one on my real account that I buy books with and an anonymous older one only used for testing.
