I definitely think you shouldn't get one then. You seem to have some strong bias against the Voyage, that will probably keep you from enjoying it.
You keep talking about the iPad. I don't own one, but I am pretty sure it doesn't have any page turn buttons on it, so I am not sure what point you are making.
Having said all that, I read on my Voyage for about an hour last night, and the buttons totally made the reading experience for me. They worked perfectly for me every time, never went in the wrong direction, and enabled me to read without thinking about how much to move my thumb. The screen, buttons, and size of the device make this the best ereader I have ever owned.
I have used a Kobo Aura HD for the last 15 months or so and various kindles before that. For page turning on touch devices, the kobo was the worst for people who switch hands and the Voyage is the best. Whichever developers at Kobo and Amazon who thought that people like to go backwards as much as they go forwards is no friend of mine.
