I know the Kobo will keep wifi passwords. But it still doesn't make typing any easier.

The ease of using the keyboard for typing is a valid concern, but your point about it being more difficult to type in a password is nitpicky. Finding books in their store will be more of a pain, yes, but frankly this is a basic ereader with an integrated bookstore. It's not misleading you by promising bells and whistles where they don't exist.
I do envy you that you have enough choices to make the Kobo pale in comparison. However, many people overseas don't have such choices, and for some, buying a competitively priced ereader with a bricks and mortar presence and local support is even better than ordering a Kindle from the USA. This is putting aside the fact that the original Kobo already provides a pretty decent reading experience, although it's possible you would disagree.
