I miss physical buttons
The first e-reader I got was the Kindle Keyboard. I used that thing more than for just reading books. I installed some games on it. I installed recipes on it and used it in the kitchen while I was cooking.

The screen broke on the Kindle Keyboard and I ended buying a Paperwhite. And I quickly left it in the bedroom to read books in bed and it no longer acted as a reference device for me that I took everywhere and looked stuff up on.

And this last week I figured why.

It was the physical buttons. Having physical page turn buttons,, an actual keyboard to type on, and physical navigation buttons is just a superior experience for me, over using a touch screen.

I would love to buy an ereader with a keyboard, nav controls and page turn buttons. Does something like that even exist any more?
