I love my Kobo right up until I have to change something, and then I get reminded of why I bought the Onyx ereader in the first place.
The tradeoff is that Android ereaders are a largely DIY experience, which I know a lot of people aren't comfortable with.

I don't see the point in a dB for a personal ereader. I guess if you have 1000+ books, but the OS again is perfectly suited to handle those sort of numbers. Indeed, the Linux OS is more capable of sorting large numbers of files than Kobos internal DB. I suppose a DB will offer extra functional, but I'm not sure what? Doing a cross book text search? I feel that most users will never use it. But enlighten me. DB on an ereader. What's the
advantage over folders?
