Last night I was reading and I would periodically adjust my grip. I realized that I could do that because holding Kindle with my right hand I had a huge area to use to advance a page. To go back a page, something I rarely do, required I used my other hand or radically adjust my grip.

Now, if I held my Kindle in my left hand, I could easily reach page forward territory and page back territory with my stubby thumb.

Mechanical buttons are fixed. Inflexible. I prefer tapping the screen as I do with my cell phone and my Chromebook.

USB c port with rapid charge, lighting equal to a Voyage, a case that protects the device and helps hold it, sound if that's a selling feature, and a price under $200 and I'll buy at least one. It would be nice if the PW4 in it's case would slip into a lower pocket on my Guayabera shirt or a side pocket on my baggy nylon pants as does the PW3 but that wouldn't be a deal breaker.

Right now I have multiple PW3 devices and will happily keep using them till they die if I must.
