To me, one advantage of ebook reader is that I can operate it by one hand. And now we are back at the starting point? The location of the remaining page-turn buttons doesn't seem to be convenient at all.
This is exactly my feeling. I hold the reader with one hand and turn the page with the same hand. I read a few pages and then I switch to the other hand. I lay down on my right side and use one pair of buttons for page turning; I lay down on my left side and I use the other pair. The new single pair of buttons is in a dreadful location!

I like the ideal of a touch screen with a stylus --- like my Palm Tungsten E. It opens the reader up to a whole new range of possibilities, such as a decent dictionary. I'm not a fan of gumming up the screen with my "damned stinking paws."

Kudos to Sony for doing something, though. An "A" for effort and a "B-" for execution.
