My KPW finally arrived today, and I'm just on training wheels now so forgive me if this has been covered before.

My biggest frustration with the KPW right now is the fact that navigating the New York Times (which I basically read cover-to-cover every day) is more cumbersome than on my old K3K. Getting back to the articles page requires using two hands and making multiple taps instead of a simple click of the d-pad. I'm really hoping there is some kind of "tap zone" setting or gesture that solves this problem, but from what I can tell there are only three gestures: swipe back a page, swipe forward a page and two-finger swipe left or right to increase or decrease font size.

I'd like to see a lot more options for gestures and zones, but right now it's pretty limited. Or maybe I'm missing something?
