The buttons on the Sage are better than the Forma buttons. Mechanically, they're perfectly fine. The "sticking" that people are talking about here (which also happens to me) is not a mechanical problem -- the button isn't literally stuck down as far as I can tell, just the software thinks it is.
When the page-forward button gets "stuck" like that, I stop it by hitting the page-back button. After I page back to where I should be, the first time I try to turn the page forward, nothing happens despite the button clearly pressing a switch; the next time, it actually pages forward. It very much seems like the software (I use KOReader, but it doesn't seem to be limited to KOReader) is missing the button-up event every so often, so treating it like the button is just held down until the next time it sees a button-up.
I'm really surprised this doesn't happen to everyone, because it does not feel at all like a hardware problem, but a software one. Maybe there's something going on with the hardware that I just can't feel?
