Compare this with a couple Oasis devices I've owned (never once did I have an issue with hitting a page turn button) or even a couple of Nook devices (GlowLight Plus and 4 - zero issues).

It sucks. Kobo has a lot going for them in my eyes but their hardware (with Sage being their flagship reader) is crazy inconsistent.
I agree with you, with one exception - the buttons of my Libra H2O worked well. And it had none of the hanging/rebooting issues the Libra 2 has had. Its only downside was a relatively poor screen.

Yeah, all the Oases have had excellent buttons. Simply joy to use. Unfortunately the Kindle software sucks. Not as much as the Nook software, but still.
