I myself didn't know they'd be important to me until I was presented with them, and with the chance to use them daily.

A lot of new e-readers can be tremendously fun to use at first. The question is whether their limitations will become irksome over time -- particularly if you've grown accustomed to not being manipulated by an OS en route to reading your books.

If the price of admission is $160-190, I think it's fair to raise the question before people order.
Actually, I have but it was back in the Dark Ages. (I do not list every device I own, only those being used) But that has nothing to do with my post. I was replying to a post that gave the impression that, while the Kobo can easily take custom fonts and change page refresh rates, one would need to jailbreak the PW (that would be Kindle Paperwhite) to do so. I was pointing out that is not the case. That's all.

How on earth that prompted your question regarding my previously owned devices or the limitations of Sony is beyond me.
