And that's why there's lots of eReaders. We have different priorities and preferences. I don't mind any of the three you listed, and if I did I can easily take care of two of them by installing PRS+ and booting the custom firmware instead. And install any font I want.
But I can't imagine living without the multiple bookmarks or collections feature, or the ability to switch between sorting by title, author, date added, date read, or file name.
To each their own, and all that.

However, there are 2 (or 3 things) the kobo does really well that I find matter more when rading books. They are:
1. Much larger selection of font sizes. With the Sony, it was feast or famine. Small size on several books was just too small. Bump up the text size by 1 (of only 5 available sizes.) and the text was way too large. Before I realized it, I was actually scaling the font sizes on Calibre to make them look good on the Sony (rather than using the Sony to make any sized text book comfortable reading). This is no longer a problem on the KT, with 17 possible font sizes to choose from.
2. Tap to turn pages. As cool as swiping can be, over hundreds of pages, it does not compete to simply moving my thumb up for a tap.
3. Choice of font. And KT is the ony reader that I know of that lets you load any font of your choice on the device in case you don't like any of the defaults.

I feel the same way. Reading is not a social activity. Talking about reading is, but not the reading itself. When I installed the Kobo app I told it to stay away from my Facebook account, and its never asked me again. So since I was able to turn off that part, I still use the Kobo app.
