We concentrate on "page turning" because it represents, by far, the main interaction (and almost
only interaction, depending on the individual reader) with the device. The majority of readers spend the overwhelming majority of their eReader time
not doing those other things.
I'm a buttonholic. I've tried a myriad of different devices with touch interfaces. I don't care for them... it's that simple. Is that not allowed? It sounds like Amazon (if the reports are true) have recognized the fact that there's a not tiny user base who feel the same way I do, and have decided to respect our wishes. As well as respecting the wishes of those who have buttonphobia. Good for them.
