Unless I've misunderstood, the options to sort and organize the library are very limited, as is the ability to have multiple books open at the same time.
And not having any of those very basic features makes me pause, and start looking at other brands for a back-up reader.

I don't believe there have been any features on previous gen kobo's removed from the KT(apart from bluetooth connectivity that the original had). Multiple Bookmarks are possible, but in a way people don't immediately realize (highlights), nor do I think it was actually intended as such. As for in book search, it really is coming.
That said, with the exception of multiple bookmarking, which is advertised on their site, if anyone is picking up the kobo expecting features that are not included with it, then they didn't do their homework prior to purchasing it and really have no right to b$tch and complain. Seriously. They can be disappointed with KOBO and decide to go with another device instead that has everything they want, but as soon as they plunk down the cash, they've lost that right because they should have known what they were getting. People who have legitimate problems (ie - poor battery life, constant corruption issues with NATIVE epub and kepub books, freezing, etc), have every right to complain and demand a properly working device.
