Nowadays I find holding paper books unnatural and uncomfortable. So it amuses me that people should want an ereader or some other electronic device to resemble a paper book. ‘Look, when I touch the page, nothing happens! Just like a real book!’

I had several non-touchscreen Kindles (still have a couple of them) and now - compared to touchscreen Kindles - they just seem crippled to me. And unlike Oasis 2 with this feature turned on (or as I see it, just about every feature turned off), they are fully functional: they have buttons for everything.

So yes, I am prejudiced. Should someone give me a new Oasis, I promise to give the feature a fair trial.
