As I've bought Oberon covers for all my ereaders for several years now, and even one for my first iPad (but not my iPad Air), I don't have a lot of room to criticize here.

That said, I'd really hope the next Paperwhite does keep the same form factor, because I would really prefer to keep my existing cover!
Provided the next Paperwhite offers enough reason to upgrade, that is. Side buttons would be basically the only thing to make me want to, as in every other way, I'm happy with my 1st generation Paperwhite.

I'm happy with my 1st generation Paperwhite as well, but if the rumor of ’squeezable’ page turn buttons with haptic feedback turns out to be true, that will indeed make the 3rd generation PW a serious temptation. I've learned to live without the side buttons, but having them would be better.
