I'm like readerlover and just want to use it to read. I never purchase books from the reader, I prefer to do all purchases from my PC only and keep all books together in my Calibre Library once purchased and sideload all books. So I could care less about having wifi or extra games. But it's rare to find a reader now without those bells and whistles. Just turn the wifi off, you have that option on all readers, so it's never a battery drain.
I do love the front light on readers now though, which is why I finally got a Kobo Glo and there's no real extra battery drain because of the light, and I leave it on always.
