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.

Do the page turn buttons on the on the Nook Simple touch detract from the esthetics of the device? I don't think they do. (You could argue about the 'n' home button. I like it personally.)
They are not susceptible to dirt and dust. If anything, the ridge of the raised bezel is more of a concern when it comes to that, yet that has not become the de facto design.
