Do you sometimes wish for physical buttons?

I've been using a 700 for 7 months now. No scratches on the touch screen, nor fingerprints. I love it for turning pages. Now, it took a little getting used to. The pictures all show someone swiping with a fingertip, but I found it not quite sensitive enough for that to work reliably. When I discovered that a very light swipe with the stylus works well, I started turning pages with a flick of the back of my fingernail. It works great. Very natural, very comfortable. Sometimes I use the buttons if I happen to be holding it with one hand, but that's less ergonomic.
Thumbs up on the touch screen for me.
