You value the paper book experience more. So if you say the native UI of a dedicated ereader is poor, that reflects only your specific preferences, which are not very common here on MR.

Perhaps - but I have never seen a standard application used in a reader that allows easy management of my ebook library, which contains more than 13,000 books - where I can set according to certain sorting criteria (author, tags, series, ...)
I only know Caliber Companion. Apart from that, very few devices offer the necessary space.
Furthermore, I would like to be able to determine in the reading application what the device has to do if I touch it at a certain point. And I don't want to have to adjust to the absurd thoughts of the manufacturers, because I most likely hold the device differently than they thought. So I read wrong landscape format in two columns.
A device has to do what and how I want it - otherwise it is unusable for me.
And that applies to all standard ebook readers.
The only exception is Tolino with its underlying Android - it is easy to install suitable applications for it via sideloading.
I don't want to have to adapt to a device, I want to adapt a device to my preferences and needs as much as possible.
