Ditto here. I do occasionally use the dictionary, but otherwise the only options I make use of are font size and light level. From time to time I change the font type just for the sake of change itself, but it's not something I would consider critical to my reading experience.
Would I make use of options to alter the margin size, etc.? Possibly. But it's certainly not something I consider a major issue. Then again, I don't consider GoodReads integration a major issue, either. I couldn't care less if that functionality was there or not; I keep my Kindles in a wifi-off state and update GoodReads from my computer.
All I care about, I guess, is the barebones functionality, and how well it does it. Are the fonts clear? Does the reader cause eyestrain? Can it handle the formats my books are in? Those are the only things I really care about.
(I should note that thanks to Calibre, format isn't an issue. I do wish Kindles handled epubs natively; it would be nice not to have to worry about converting.)
