I understand some early readers had speakers built-in. My guess (and it's only a guess) is that they were more rarely used than page turn buttons. |
Obviously you don't like page turn buttons, but (on my Readers that have them) they're used a lot. I didn't use speakers on my Kindle 3 (the only one that had them) but Readers having speakers is not what we're talking about here.

Not everyone carries a smartphone. And (I've mentioned this before) for me a Reader and a smartphone are two different creatures. Keeping eBooks and lectures (or audio books) on an eReader just seems "normal" to me. It's a different "category."
But to each their own.
