I guess I'm a Luddite too. I have the Vox and find the included "social media" apps totally useless. As far as I'm concerned, things like Twitter are just self-promotion tools for businesses, politicians and egotists, i.e., twits. I'm not a competitive reader; I just read for pleasure and don't need to tell everyone on Facebook or Twitter how many books I'm reading and how fast I'm reading them. Even though I have Reading Life disabled, it keeps popping up whenever I swipe the screen the wrong way, which I find annoying. However, that stuff must be desirable to many people because a lot of them rave about it, and it does give Kobo a marketing edge over the competition.
