That small screen is basically the reason why the battery last just only a week or so. With just buttons, I can warranty you it would last same as Kindle 3.

But if you prefer one over the other, is your preference, of course.
That is a fair assessment however, there was no mention of battery before, just that swiping added nothing to the reading experience. In that line of thought it remains that buttons do not either.

No worries.
