I thought it was a great feature until I went from the Libra H20 to the Libra 2, which is a little bit heavier. I tend to read for long period of time, and the extra weight was starting to show after a while. My thumb on the button was basically holding my Kobo and was getting sore. I know, first world problems...

Now, the way I'm holding the Kindle feels better and I prefer to swipe then having to press a button.

Voilà.

Thank you for explaining.
