Overall, I'm rather satisfied with the Kobo (Wifi).
One thing that is constantly annoying me, though, is the way the buttons on the chassis are implemented.
Compared to my previous device, an Elonex EB600, they're far worse.

The Elonex buttons where inset, they didn't protrude the way the Kobo buttons do.
Of course, they were harder to press because of that, but it was - at least to me - far more comfortable, because it's next to impossible to accidently press them, which is something I value highly on handheld devices.

I don't entirely know how I manage to do this, but I often accidently press the "back" button, losing the book I'm reading.

Point in case: I read on the way to work - first in the train, then not reading while walking (carrying the eBook, not pocketing it), then reading in the elevator (it's very slow, lots of time).

Somehow I manage to press the "back" button while walking.

I realize I can't really change the buttons on my Kobo, but perhaps the next version could have different buttons?

Or am I the only one who has problems with them? Let's do a poll.

[edit]Was talking to a friend about this - he thinks the D-Pad should also be inset.
Personally, I don't mind the D-Pad, but then, why not?
