Buttons, buttons, buttons.
That does not mean keyboards, though.
Onscreen menus and keyboards controlled by a 5-way thumbpad/stick is both minimalistic and ergonomical. See the Pocketbook360 Plus for a good example.

I'm not religiously opposed to a touchscreen as a throw-in feature, as long as the reader has at least one set of side-mounted paging buttons, but I won't pay a premium for it. The NOOK STR seems to fit that bill but I want to see what the feel of the buttons is like.
