I really like the look of the new Kobo. Very swish? But one button? That's a showstopper for me. The best combination is touch-screen AND buttons.Swiping the screen is handy sometimes (in bed, one-handed funnily enough), but I mainly use buttons for page turns. Bottom line--you can't have enough control options.

I think the Nook looks more bulky, but 5 buttons? Now you're talking.

So what will Amazon do? They must react if they wish to dominate the market. Sorry Kindle owners, but the K3 looks like yesterday's tech next to the new Nook and Kobo. I have no doubt Amazon will release touch. It's also nice that other companies will force Amazon to support Epub.
