God yes I miss those buttons on my paperwhite :(

I also wish I could turn the backlight off completely rather than just lower it to the lowest setting.

You can turn it off completely, the lowest setting is off.

No. The lowest setting is still slightly lit: http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg1?_encodin...

I'd say it is more than slightly lit. It is lit enough to read by in a dark room--comfortably once your eyes are dark adapted.
