So until we see Onyx-Box release a Kepler-style chassis without page-turn buttons, can we please cease and desist continually raising the spectre of the Kepler (or Kepler Lite) every time a new variant is announced.

Until the buttons of the turning of the pages vanishith from the face of the Reader of the ebooks, there shalt be no Kepler, lest it be Pro!

(Incidentally, until somebody actually gets their hot clammy hands on a Robinson Crusoe, we don't even know for certain that it lacks BT -- it could be simply an oversight on the Russian site's specs listing -- it wouldn't be the first time a retailer has made such a mistake.)
