Actually, history is very useful. If you have an eBook that has endnotes, you'd use the history to go back to where you were reading if the eBook does not have a back link in the endnote. A good example of this is the Discworld series which has endnotes but no links to specifically go back.
The Kobo currently has issues changing font sizes when it should be able to. The 600 works.
Also, you do need a cover to protect the reader. The screen uses a glass substrate and can get damaged if you drop it. So not having a cover means you have a higher risk of breaking your reader if it was to be dropped. Also, the cover makes the reader easier to hold.
