And, this morning I put my Paperwhite in a baggie to see how it worked. It worked fine. I wonder how that Kindle with buttons work after getting soaked in the rain?

Simply liking buttons is enough of a reason to want buttons. Me? I haven't had a television in twenty years because they abandoned the mechanical dial. Oddly enough, my life is much better with a Kindle and much better without a television. I've never actually seen that oxymoron of entertainment, Reality Televison.
