Question Button - Single Point of Failure?

I have just looked, with quite a bit of interest, at a Kobo WiFi edition at Chapters. Good price (149$ Cdn.) great display etc etc. Almost bought it. What has me concerned is the single button for *everything* design. If you read a great deal (I do) and plan to switch between a large number of Novels, periodicals etc., that means that one little mechanical button will get a lot of wear and tear.
How reliable is it?
If it was available in touch screen, since that involves no moving parts, I would go for it in a heartbeat.

Looking for any button related feedback to help me make this decision. The Sony PRS650, has the same size screen, is touch, but is a whopping 70$ more (on sale).
