Sony PRS-350 or Sony T2?
But I agree. Lack of a "back" when a link (esp footnote) is selected is stupid. "Back" could be multi-function depending on context?
Harder to decide which other buttons are important.
The main functions I'd use when reading:
TOC
My Books / Library
Details
Maybe search (current read by default)
Bookmark list.
I'd not fuss about Battery charge, Time, Changing font etc.
The Pull down list of recent books is useless on Kobo as books added replace ones recently read. Last 10 actually opened would be good when researching.
Also Bookmarks should be separate to Highlights & Annotations (personally I never highlight without typing something, even if only "?". I don't go back to Annotations. I export them to text files using Calibre Kobo Utilities.
In general I find Kobo UI better than it was esp. "My Books" and Kindle much worse than it used to be on PW3. PW3 is now worse UI than KK3 or DXG!
