That right there is the real reason page buttons were eliminated. Not because readers are better without them, but because it's cheaper for the manufacturers. That's why I don't get the push back in this thread.

Yeah, the Voyage looks like a nice piece of hardware. If there was a version that handled ePub (and had a few gigs for sideloading) I'd buy it. I just don't have the patience to convert all my ePub to work on the Voyage.
