Open to other brands, Kobo/Boox/etc, but it seems there hasn't been a generational leap yet in ereader technology, discounting color.

There is one reason one should consider "mucking around" (besides library organizing) and that is backing up your books. If you don't remove the DRM and make your own backups, your only hope is that the stores where you bought your books will never go defunct or close your account (the latter is known to have happened to several Amazon customers, for example). Granted, if you're the type who reads everything only once and deletes, this may not matter to you.

There is not a huge difference, no.
