Hi Axel,
about the buttons: I've only really used them to flip pages or to go back, and they work pretty well that way. I'm also left-handed, so they're exactly in the right spot for me :P
For everything else, you need the pen anyway for most of the interactions and once it's out it's just easier to use that.

About the rooting: if I will really really need it, I'll consider that. For the moment it's ok like this.

Android 4.4 for me would be useful to install something to manage my Zotero library and maybe it would add a bit more compatibility with other apps, that's all.

About the pen yes, I will contact the store. The problem is that at the moment I'm in Australia and it's a pain in the ass to send it back and forth. Closer to Christmas I'll go back to Italy and I'll send it from there if they can ship it back before I go back down under, otherwise I'll wait until I go back to Europe for good.

If there's any other question I can answer or something that I can test, let me know.
