For me, the main reasons to get it onto my Kindle are the multitude of small flaws of the built-in firmware:
- No folder structure for documents
- Pollutes "my" library with audible stuff I don't want to see; the option to hide audible doesn't work
- Selection (mainly for translation) of words doesn't consider m-dash as word separator, so there was no possibility to find a translation of a word that is written before/after a m-dash
- Pictures in books (e.g., world maps) sometimes are tiny, unreadable
In addition, now, I value
- Customizability of the status bar while reading, with actual useful info (e.g., floating point reading percentages)
- Custom wallpapers
- SSH connection; no more USB necessary
- Better ergonomics (customizable tap actions, one-handed lock screen, etc.)
I don't recall anything that the Kindle OEM does a better job with, once you've made the device your own. Yes, the UI feels like old-school GTK software, but it's superior in the things that matter.
