I'm surprised. Amazon have dropped the ball. E-reader issues:

1) The Touch version has no buttons! I use a 650 and I use the buttons a lot. I do swipe the screen to do page turns sometimes, but 90% of the time I use the buttons. Having to use screen only is a major negative. I dislike the Kobo because it only has one button. Big mistake IMO.

2) The color is a poor choice. Reflexive Silver / Metallic grey? Ick. IMPO it looks cheap and ugly. Maybe it will grow on me.
More objectively, the finish has obvious possible reflexive glare issues. Odd choice if it is the only color choice. Mat black is best.
