I'm sure there are other reading situations besides public transportation that would require wearing gloves, as well. Being a passenger on a long ride in a vehicle whose heater isn't working...or even power outages in the home.
We had a winter storm two or three winters ago, causing a power outage that left us without heat for days. Without electricity, the TV, computer and WiFi were out, too, so my Kindle was the only way to pass the time.
Unfortunately, that was before I had my Voyage, so I had to remove one glove, just so I could turn pages on my Paperwhite. I just kept tucking that hand under my throw blanket, but having a Voyage would've made that an easier experience.

Funny, my sister mentioned the same thing to me yesterday. She has a Paperwhite, I have a Voyage, she told me she wished she had page turn buttons because her hands get cold on chilly days since she can't wear gloves when reading outside. She has gloves with the fingers exposed just for reading on the Paperwhite and she's not a fan of it.
