I remember it not being easy to navigate through large numbers of books, but that may be a nearly universal thing. Can't remember if I could turn off cover view so it just showed a text list of titles. (Most of what I read is fanfic; there are no covers. Auto-generated covers are just text that's too small to read.)
There's no reason not to register a Kobo. Kobo is a Canadian company and they follow the Canadian privacy laws fully.,

As for navigating, things have changed since. There is now sorting by series and less need for collections.

The Libra 2 is the smallest Kobo with buttons. Pocketbook has some 6" Readers with buttons, but they are at the bottom and that's a rather poor place for buttons.
