Buttons make in easier to hold a reader in a single hand and turn pages easily. I can leave my thumb on the page turn button and press it when I want to turn the page (this was especially true with the Nook STs sturdier rubberized buttons).
To tap the screen you have to shift your thumb, which upsets the balance being used to hold the reader. That's been my experience.
I've grown used to reading on a touch only device, but it has never felt like an improvement.

Kobo is great for sideloading/hacking/tinkering in general.

No arguments there. Though I do feel like some of the Kobo hacks shouldn't be necessary. Full screen reading and full control for sideloaded fonts should be standard or at least available as options.
Why does Kobo continue to think the big header and footer in Kepub is a good idea? It gets pointed out as a negative in a review of every new device.
