I think I've labeled my title wrong. I meant to say, "decent e-reader for textbook, pdf and educational material"
The functions I'm mentioning aren't meant for reading novels/everyday reading. The E-reader I'm describing is for textbooks. Reading textbooks, educational material and technical PDF's are very different from reading Non Textbook/educational material. A 6 inch screen is just not bigger enough for textbooks. A 6 inch e-reader is great for everyday reading since most of your reading is linear. You go one direction and 1 direction only. You won't be diving into the TOC often. For textbooks it's different, you may need to reference things, you may want to jump back between pages/books, revisit a term, a theory and etc. You many want to jump to different chapters or sections. So those buttons would make the reading experience more like reading a real text book.
While it's expensive I can't imagine it being more expensive than some of these higher end tablets. The biggest expensive for the E-reader would be the screen. Everything else should be fairly cheap.
