The more familiar I get with what Calibre has to offer the more I realise that my Kindle Paperwhite can't cope with what I think are essential attributes of a reader. I want to be able to list books I'm in the middle of reading. I want to get rid of all the sales displays and attempts to sell me stuff on Amazon. I want to be able to link books in a sequence and be able to see their reading order. I want to be able to display a list of authors. I want to be able to edit metadata of books held in the Kindle and sync the edits to the master files in the Kindle library on my PC (maybe I can already do that from Calibre but I don't know how). I'd like to be able to switch the graphics off and on - all those front covers take up too much screen room when all I want often is a text list. I'd like more options when choosing selection criteria for a search. I want to know how far I've read and how much is left. I want to read the summary description of a book before I open it.

I like the Kindle's screen, readability and battery life.

Is there another ebook out there which has a management system more like Calibre than Kindle's, and is as readable as the Kindle is?
