I apologize ahead of time but I have to disagree about the red slider. I came to Kobo from a Kindle Paperwhite and a Fire HD (that one's not an eReader but anyway). With Kindle the on/off switches are black on black needing almost a safari to find them. You have to turn the reader on its side and even then you won't find it fast without a good light. Plus on the PW, if you read without a cover you will occasionally have it turn it off when the palm of your hand rests against the off switch located on the bottom edge.

I think the on/off switch should be always be so easy to find that you don't have to think about it. So your bug is one reason I love it.
