So far I have clicked the the buttons maybe 5 times to turn pages, page swipe works great!

I had two nooks at one time, purchased last summer within 30 days. The first one clearly had loud, harsh buttons that would likely break after a lot of use. I modified the buttons to prevent the wear and tear and gave it to my son. The next nook had very different buttons and a much softer feel. I cannot say that the change will prevent the breakage problem, but clearly they made changes that should ameliorate the problem.
As for B&N ignoring the demands of the consumer; as soon as I read that, I ordered a JetBook Lite and I plan to give up on nook when my softrooted model wears out. Too bad they made softrooting so difficult. Even with their arrogance about unblocking the library features I would probably buy another and still be one of their customers if I could softroot. As it is, they lost me and will continue to lose people to Amazon. Once I get past the anger over their stupid business plan, at least I have options. Too bad B&N, you could have had the best of both worlds. As it is, your market share will continue to shrink.
