I have the original glow light and the new glow light. The new glow light is a definite improvement with or without the buttons. And, the option to buy the old model with buttons and sd slot and at an all time low price is still available. I'm sure you can find used Kindles, Sonys and Kobos with similar features on e-bay.
Barnes and Noble did not eliminate the page turn button feature, the e-reading public did. If there was enough demand for it not only would Barnes and Noble would have them, Kindle and Kobo would have them and Sony would be selling their product in the U.S. Like its been said before, "I don't know who the last buggy whip manufacturing company was. But, one thing I can say for sure is they made the best buggy whip."

Very well said. I still feel with the low price point on a new device it should sell decent. The screen from what i saw was very nice and i guess i am one of the few who loves the white.
