Is there anyone else out there that genuinely doesn't want all those extra features?

Yeah, me, as I've mentioned in other threads. It's not so much the features as it is the stuff that supports them, like the Nook's lcd screen and the Kindle's keyboard. The Kobo feels really good in my hand in a way that the Nook didn't, and I haven't had a chance to hold a Kindle.
I actually prefer downloading my books to computer first, then syncing with the Kobo. I'd rather surf and browse at the desktop machine, and I want copies on both the Kobo and the desktop (and its automatic backup) anyway, so there's no advantage to me in downloading straight to the reader and then to the desktop.
I'd rather do all the organizing (which I hope is coming with the firmware upgrade) on the computer, too, and just download the result as I do with iTunes and my iPod.
