I didn't realize that the Nook Touch has side page turn buttons. I really like that feature, but not the file structure and front screen ads. Does the new Kobo touch reader have side buttons also?

I'm also debating between the Kobo and Nook. The buttons on the Nook are actually quite difficult to press, unlike the easy ones on the Kindle, so it's probably just easier to tap...I'm not sure how each device would work for tapping with the thumb of the hand holding it, as I do when reading on an ipod touch, but the Kobo would seem to be easier, with it's narrower bezel. But then I've somehow survived turning actual pages over and over for several decades, so I think the plush back of the Kobo, the narrower body, and the slightly smaller weight might make it feel better to use.
Of course I just saw that Borders in the US is about to ship the Kobo--except for the blue one I ordered, which won't leave until June 24.
