I think a home button is a great idea, as long as it is configured to be a page turn button, a library button, other configurations, and can be disabled.
I guess e-inks in general, I have no idea who started it, but no tablet does that. I agree it would be nice if it could be configured. (there's actually a hack for the KT that makes it do page turns.)

I don't know whether I'm the best proof of anything, as I tend to switch between several books at once. I do know I'm not the only one with this complaint.
