I was unsure about that as well, I use the buttons on my 650 and hang my left thumb on the bezel slightly overhanging the screen on the Glo, a slight rock or shift of the thumb turns the page. Using these as my 2 main readers at the moment (650 at work and Glo at home) with the Pyrus Mini for walking about - Or reading Pratchett books with lots of footnotes, touch screens are bloody useless for that many footnotes.
The page turners I like most are the slide switch on the left of the Jetbook or the edge buttons on the Bookbox & Pyrus Mini (Although I'll admit the edge buttons only work with a narrow screen).
I can see why Ken clings to his Jetbook with a firm deathgrip, If they made a new one with a decent eInk screen and a better processor I'd get one in a shot the final firmware update made it a very nice device.
