It also depends upon how a person uses their ereader. I noticed that PBChess included a notepad and calculator, so clearly someone thinks that adding a few simple functions to an ereader has some value. Since I use mine as a reader and only a reader, it's not something that I'm interested in -- yet people who are interested in it may want such information.
Right, it can be easy to forget that. While I suspect that most of us are just reading for enjoyment, there are plenty of students and others where additional related tools could come in handy.

I should also point out that to make use of the File Manager's functions with files maintained on the external uSD card, it must be remounted as Read/Write. For some reason Kobo mounts the external SD card as Read Only. It is easy to add a line to remount it as read/write, to the script that launches Koreader.

Code:
#remount SD card as read/write
mount -o remount,rw /mnt/sd
Luck;
