It was about languages ratios, not about amount of books
Search/sort is good if it is very good search, like in desktop Calibre. Or if you remember all names of authors and books. Mobile readers let you search by one parameter (Tried again with Moon+ and Calibre Premium right now). I didn't find the way to search using combined tags or attributes like I do in Calibre (for example, tags:"=Middle Age" & #cat:"=History.Britain" & #class:"=NonFiction"). Right now, tried again with Moon+ and Calibre Premium – all the same.
And even if I find the reader with good search, I'm not sure I can teach my parents (70+) to use it.

I suppose, English is your native language. Nickel is terrible if your language is not officially supported. If you need multiple dictionaries and search in different languages you need patches, and then repatch it after every update. Koreader is the only good solution I could find.
Is there a stable way of series, categories, subcategories sync Calibre with Kobo? Last time I tried, Kobo needed some crazy rituals with reconnects and with manual creation/deletion of series (It was more than year ago, so I can be mistaken).

That is an additional reason why I want filesystem: I don't want to care about reader app. File structure is the same on all my devices.
Thank you for your recommendation, will try PocketBook again. First versions were not good, but it was long time ago.
P.S. And besides EPUB I have PDF and DjVu (and going to add CBR, after polishing my collection). Yes, it’s just 10% of my collection, but anyway.
