Anyway you’re still wrong because the buttons don’t detract from the usability of the ereader even if they are under your finger for the following (repeated) reasons: 1) you can’t accidentally press them 2) they are designed in such a way as to be barely perceptible when you’re holding the device with your finger on them 3) they don’t make holding the device harder if anything they add friction making it less likely for the device to slip from your hand.
You can dislike buttons all you like. But your continued claim of them being in the way is patently false. Much like your previous USB C vs USB A etc cable fears (which have borne no fruit even after Kobo switched to USB C on all their ereaders), or your claim of cases being mandatory for the protection of the ereader (and your refusal to accept a case that covers the buttons on the Libra further proves you lack the courage of your convictions).

You don't get it. If the buttons are under your fingers, you can accidentality press one. It's not comfortable to hold. You can't hold as tight as you want because if might press one of the buttons. So if buttons are in a place where you'd hold the Reader, then the buttons are not in a good place.
If you look at the Libra 2, the right edge has a slight lip. So when the case is closed, you won't be holding the case in any way that will press either button. Also, the buttons are at the right edge and have a big enough gap between then. So with the Libra 2, you can hold it without having to hold onto the buttons. But if you want a smaller bezel, then you'll get stuck having to either hold on the buttons or the buttons have to be moved and under the screen is the only place the buttons could then go.
