.. I've never even heard of that and I don't even know where I'd get such a thing as capacitive thread! I'll keep my eyes open now that I know, thanks!

I'd still prefer page turn buttons, though. Since this is a thread about wished-for improvements for the Kindle and all.

Not the least because I found using the K3's page turn buttons easier and taking less thumb motion every time than the PW demands (I can't just let my thumb rest in the air over the screen in order to simply touch it down for next page, as it'll cover part of the text if I do that - the K3's buttons were, for me, ideally placed so that my thumb always rested on the page-forward button and all it took was a very light press downwards to turn the page).

So, basically, page turn buttons and pop-up footnotes (I know those exist on PW2 but Amazon has been known to change software features from one Kindle to another before, so it's never a given that something cool in one Kindle will remain there in the next one - see chapter pips) are my two biggest wishes. A better way to handle collections / nested collections would be nice, too, but I can manage with the way they are on PW1 now, so that's not essential.

Also, a way to override publisher font in all books without having to de-DRM an Amazon-bought book and transfer the re-saved mobi back to the Kindle. I don't know why but I can't change the font with all books now.
