If the 5-way is placed somewhere convenient then it adds a large amount to bezel, as on the PB 360. The slim page turn buttons on the Kindle 3 do not. And if it's not placed conveniently then it requires extra motion to turn pages.
I'm not saying a 5-way can't be useable. I just don't see it being as easy to use and as ergonomic as the Kindle 3's buttons, let alone superior.
