Actually. that's good to hear. I was looking at getting a new reader and only the Libra suits me. But I can't handle one in person before I buy and I'm not the type to send something back five or six times to get 'the perfect one'
But I really did hear bad stuff about the Libra page turn buttons and not only from the voices in my head. There's a couple of YouTube videos and there were posts in this thread and the one in the Kobo forum mentioning that the Libra 2's buttons look like an improvement. |
I have had no problems with the buttons on my unit. And believing what is on youtube videos posted by someone just wanting to get their videos viewed is ludicrous.
As for their use, you do have to just touch the ends; touching the center does not allow them to function as designed. However, I believe that is similar to any "rocker" style button made and might be why they are referred to as "rocker switches." And that is something easy to get used to for
most people. Those who do not adapt, will not like the location of the buttons regardless of where they are located.
As for the
"buttons look like an improvement," statement that is a statement that is inconclusive, has no evidence of actual use; and is just guesswork regarding something something that is viewed, not used. And even if used, would only be subjective of the user but at least based on actual use; not guesswork.
Looking at the location of the buttons on the new model, I would say they will not be an improvement (for me);
HOWEVER, I could not make a definitive
subjective statement if they are or not until I actually used the new unit; therefore, my statement is
only conjecture and basically means nothing. And being able to adapt, I would probably easily adapt to the new location and have no problems with the location. However, I do not know that for a fact. One reason to purchase only knowing for a fact, you can return.
