That's odd. I think I used to be able to move .acsm files from Kobo and the PocketBook would download the ePub, but I just tried it and it didn't work. So either I have a bad memory, or something has changed.

I can see where that would be a pain. It's not an issue with the Touch HD 3 because the buttons are at the bottom and I never turn on the G-Sensor (no need to since I always read in portrait mode). I'm pretty sure I would prefer that the Era had buttons on the bottom, but I guess I'm in the minority there.
