For me, the positioning of the Voyage buttons still sucks. I've gotten used to it, but never really liked them. The real problem for me is the bezel is too thin, when you have a capacitive touch panel right next to it on a flat surface. My thumbs aren't small, but not overly huge either. So I tend to do what you do, which is try to grip the Voyage so I can just press down with my thumb and get a page turn. Except it just isn't ideal:

1) If my thumb rolls too much trying to hold the Voyage by the bezel one-handed, I get unintentional touches on the touchscreen.
2) Holding the Voyage one-handed is just uncomfortable, requiring me to change my grip frequently, which usually triggers #1 too.

Honestly, I miss the PW2's bezel where I just rolled my thumb onto the screen and that put me on the next page, but was wide enough for a good grip when holding it one handed. It is possible that a case would help here, maybe.

Harry, you and Wolf both come across as arguing your personal viewpoints without acknowledging that others can have differing opinions and experiences with these devices that in no way invalidate your own. It's getting rather tiresome, to be honest.

I'm going to go back to reading and waiting for my PW3 on pre-order, because I'm a sucker.
