I agree that above the screen would be a better place but I think in a touch screen ereader the purpose of the border is to be able to hold it and the entire border should be safe.
If that button had required pressing it wouldn't have been much of a problem. But there's about a full square inch, the area with the embossed N and the area around it, where you better not touch while you're reading.
To make it worse I can't simply cover that area to make it safe because then I have no way to get to the Home screen. I finally put a thick piece of adhesive backed felt over that area that required a lot of pressure to let my finger get close enough to that surface to trigger it and that worked for a short time but the felt seemed to have flattened a bit and stopped protecting it.
The real shame of it is that if they'd do something about that and make the dictionary definitions dark text instead of greyed out it would probably become one of my favorite readers. Everything else about it is excellent.
