I have an old Kindle 3, the one with the keyboard at the bottom. I've never really used the keyboard but what I like about this model is the paired buttons.
There are two buttons each side, one page forward and one page reverse, so whichever hand you tend to be holding with you can navigate with a thumb very easily.
The newer models tend to be touch screen which I dislike intensely. Apart from having to touch the screen which is counter intuitive, you don't get forward and back on each side within easy reach of your thumb.
I've just had a struggle to find a new screen for mine after I broke it but if anything else goes wrong it will have to be a new reader.
So, does anyone know of a decent model that can be operated by buttons? I can't find one.
