For those of us that dont want to bother with dictionary, markings, annotations etc. A more robust user experience.
Personally, I agree with you because I only use my KOBO reader for reading. But I also see the point of view of those who say "you'll never get that."

However, it would suit me to a tee if there was a way to read with only three small areas of touch on the screen:
1. One small area to unlock the rest of the screen and to use all the regular features.
2. One small area to page forward.
3. One small area to page backward.

By the way, that first option is the work-around for all those people who want to do all that other stuff with their e-reader.

I yearn for the good old days where there was (hardware) dedicated buttons to page forward and back.
