With the Voyage, they added buttons to get round the potential problem of accidental page turns (if it is a problem). Personally, I would have liked the flush bevel for the reason I stated. Though that only works if you can reduce the margins to zero. But I think the Kobo can run Coolreader, so that would work.
I thought the Aura has a flat screen as it is capactive. You couldn't have a flat screen with IR, and capactive needs a extra layer over the screen and that's why the Aura screen isn't very good. In that case it makes sense that Kobo has stuck with IR and a sunken screen.
