They take up so much space and yet end up being not very functional..?

The buttons on my original Nook were also very stiff, and I used to cringe when I hit the button because I was scared it would crack--which as we all know was a huge issue for BN (maybe a reason so many sat there unsold? Bad word of mouth?)
But after a lot of use, the buttons became softer and easier to push, so I assume the STR is the same way?
I wish the STR had a similar form factor to the original Nook and Nookcolor. It looks so out of place in the "Nook" family. Like the homely relative in a family full of sexy.
Regardless, I'll probably only buy refurbished units from here on out and try to avoid touchscreen eink for as long as I can. Sony and Nook, I prefer.
