The shorter answer is that while I want a reader and not a tablet, I want quite a few tablet features including using a better reading program that syncs between devices. I also want control over my device (my current device is rooted, I shouldn't HAVE to do that). It also needs to have great battery life (at least two weeks of reading). When I setup my current reader to do most of what I want, the battery lasts only 1 day.

Oh, and don't forget that color e-ink is almost usable...
I've never found a need for syncing. I just read different books on different devices (H2O & phone). With a Kobo, you don't need to root. It's open enough from the start. You can install KOReader if you want. Battery life on the Libra is good.
