I don't enjoy reading on the iPad as much because you have to either tap in certain regions or swipe. I much prefer e-readers that have well placed buttons accessible when held with either hand.

Touch only wouldn't be too bad if you could manually tweak the touch regions so that you can setup regions based on how you prefer to hold the device in both hands.
My point exactly, and the reason why I have decided to stick up to non touch for the time being. Quite happy with the K4NT and the buttons disposition I must say.
