I don't think it's the cost. But rather the design. It looks sleeker without buttons. Buttons generally stick out and that's not as esthetically nice as a perfectly flat design. They generally are also more susceptible to dirt and dust (the same reason people prefer a screen that is flush with the bezel).
I'm not fond of Kindles, but I do like the Voyage (except the price). It has buttons, it has a flush screen and it has touch.
