I tend to assume that when people say they do / don't prefer something, that they do in fact have experience with the something in question.
The fingerprint issue is, to me, a Dead Horse. I believe you don't see fingerprints on your device, and that's great for you, but I have a PRS 950 and it definitely has fingerprints on it. My mother uses a PRS 350 and she sees fingerprints, too, so I assume I've inherited my super-fingerprint-eyesight from her.
I've already explained that I prefer the Sony physical option button over the Nook Color touch-the-center-of-the-screen-have-the-menu-buttons-come-up model. And I do very much prefer my PocketBook 360 physical buttons to the Sony swipe (even though it is a very well-integrated, well-designed swipe, no doubt about it) for personal ergonomic reasons.
I'm sure you won't assume that THIS Mobile Reader just doesn't have the experience to know what she's talking about, and thus do I assume that everyone else knows their personal preferences pretty darn well.
