But yes, software is pretty limited.

Everything you say is true. And yet, I've found most of it isn't really stuff I personally miss. I patch and customize my Kobo and I have fun sometimes looking through collections and series. Yet I love reading on my 2015 Glowlight Plus.
The three things things I would like to see changed in Nook firmware:
- Ditch that useless profile button on the top left and bring back the current read button. That was a great feature and they made a mistake in replacing it.
- When I reach the end of a book and do 'page forward' take me back to the home screen, instead of just sitting like a dummy.
- I don't like that half the home screen is links to the store.
If those were fixed, Nook would still be missing good collections control and custom fonts, but I could deal.
I do like author stacking in my library.
