I only use "B" on the PW3.
I'd like even one page turn button. However in adding Touch they decided to save 20c and remove ALL buttons except power. They also removed the 3.5mm audio jack as a 50c saving. The USB based audio on PW3 is horrid compared to DXG and Kindle Keyboard.

Software development has often been 10 to 20 years behind the Linux desktop. These do use linux + GNU or Linux kernel and Android (depending on make). Yet SW is focus on homescreen appearance, DRM and Marketing. Not the sorts of features easy 15 years ago.

My kobo is supposedly waterproof, I'd not test that.
I've rarely used lights on my Kobo or Kindle. Because I read lots of paper, I have room lights.

I find customer serivce of all large corporations toxic and arrogant. Amazon is one of the top 10 arrogant international companies on abusing customer privacy and attempting to have monopolies.
