I need your opinion

I have a PW2, and Nexus 7. Which is better using the Kindle cloud or side loading my books using calibre. I use to read totally using Kindle app on the Nexus but now that I have the PW2 I mostly read using the PW2. I am not happy with the way Amazon organizes the docs in the cloud and I dislike seeing the docs covers in Nexus. But I do sometime read on one or the other. What I do like is that if I load the books to the cloud that I can sync and go to the correct location on either device.
One trade off I see is that I only load a few books at a time to the cloud then as I read them to remove them from my readers and the cloud so that I do not have the issue with organization.
What do you do. I am open for other options.

If you want whispersyn you have to use the Amazon cloud. I have about 3/400 of my docs in the cloud, as I read them I delete them and as I buy new books I send them to the cloud. I don't sideload via Calibre.

I have a tag in Calibre so I know what books are in the cloud (as I have far more than 3/400) and about 20 collections I put the books into depending on the genre. Once read I rate them in Calibre.
