I have an aging Sony PRS-505 and one of the main reasons I have not upgraded is that I like the buttons and the fact they keep my greasy fingers off the screen. Are there any current e-book readers that are not touch based, or have decent buttons for page flipping? One thing I really love about the 505 is that the PRS+ enhancements give me 3 different buttons that can turn the page which is great for holding it in a variety of positions.

My list of absolute requirements are pretty slim: Calibre and EPUB compatible, an e-ink screen, and buttons to flip pages.
