Everything works better on a Kobo. I have Paperwhite 3, following is better or only on Kobo:
- My books views, filters and sorts. You can make that the Homepage.
- Better Collections support. Set up a custom Calibre column. Collections need a registered Kindle and are buggy. Can't be organised on PC except ancient Kindles.
- Series works with any defined by Calibre on 2nd connection. On Kindle Series info is rare and only from Amazon and can't be edited.
- Bookmarks and export of them work better.
- Highlights & Annotations work better, three main methods to export per book, not one big log file like myclippings.txt.
- Works best of all ereaders with Calibre.
- Ability to install a few apps without jail-break.
- Ability to manually install older FW if a Kobo update is problematic. Nearly impossible on Kindle.
- NO payment details needed. Can use fake email or none to register and Kobo have never send emails to real registered email if not used with Shop.
