Initially they are inactive. If you want to turn them on you can assign a role to each one, so holding device in the left hand you could assign back forward to the left two buttons and leave the others on the right off or do vice-versa.
They were a little sneaky. They wanted to say that there was only one button on the simple Nook so that they could slap Kindle. There are actually 5 buttons on the simple Nook but only the bottom-central Nook (home) button is active by default.
You're gonna love the simple Nook!  |
I checked out several videos, and the new Nook is THE most interesting device I have seen in a very long time.
It has touch screen, so you do not have to click and click and click to move in menu, and for turning pages you have *configurable* buttons, right under the thumb, that are very similar to buttons on my beloved PocketBook 360.
Also the back side isn't flat, so you can grab the device properly.
Now I would like to see how configurable the device is (I am spoiled rotten with my PocketBook360) and how difficult it will be to install other stuff to the Android 2.1 the device has.
My previous comments were aimed at people that were describing turning pages by swipes on the new Kobo as great thing.
