The #1 reason I bought my Kobo was because I wanted a new reader that could get Overdrive library books directly when I didn't have access to my home computer. Overdrive changes made it no longer possible to get library books directly on my Sony PRS-T3. If I had wanted to sideload my library books I could have just kept using the Sony.
Now (thanks to rcentros) I use a cheap used Tolino as my away-from-home reader instead of the Kobo, because not only can the Tolino get any library book (not just the ones that match the Kobo store) but it also has the Adobe page numbers.
The comfort light on the Kobo is good for reading in bed so do I use it for that.
