Everybody is eventually going to get rid of page turn buttons that are in an ergonomic spot to be operated by either thumb, aren't they? Aren't they!?
Another small piece of me has died. |

Yes, they are. And eventually, I think page turn buttons will eventually go away.

I like the way those look. Those are rather snazzy. Wish there were some page-turn buttons in a thumb-friendly area...

Seriously it looks like they put zero thought into this device other than lowering the price and swapping the case out for plastic. They released the ereader they should have released a year ago. Not that it would have mattered. Last edited by OtterBooks; 08-31-2011 at 07:41 PM. |

If Kobo doesn't fix the constant need for factory resets the Touch needs by the time I can afford to spend the $180 (Canadian, after sales taxes) or so it'll cost, this'll be the way I go. Sony rarely makes a bad product.

Since I'm buying the books either way and it'll already come with a snazzy cover, I wouldn't mind if the HP version of the reader costs $200~300. |
