True, but the latest OPDS spec does allow for some advanced features (sort, facets, etc) and while few readers support these features (so far, I only know of Mantano Reader for Android), they make navigating large collections a lot easier. Other niceties include relational links in acquisition feeds (e.g. Books by same author, same genre, etc).
