Doesn't seem strange to me, I've had the same experience.

Is your battery life not affected by the capacitive switches?
Not that I can tell. What would I compare it with?

Quote:
Is your unit not using power while off because of the switches?
Not that I can tell, and as far as I know, ALL lithium powered devices lose power even when turned off.

Quote:
Doesn't it happen to you that you accidentally swipe one of the buttons while reading?
That because you have to hold the reader by a corner your hand gets tired?
No and No.

Quote:
Did it never happen that you put the reader in the bag, and while doing that accidentally touched a button without noticing?
There's a bag??

Quote:
Did it never happen that you put the reader near a wireless source and the buttons started acting up?
Nope, that's never happened, not once.

Quote:
Can you activate the buttons with the pen while writing?
I have no idea, and frankly don't want to try. That sounds like it could damage my pen.

Quote:
I think the buttons were a horrible choice. A choice like - "lets see if we can make buttons that are worse than the Kindle's"
Uh, I like the buttons on my Kindle, thanks.

Quote:
Maybe what you meant is: after some use you get used to the buttons, so the DR1000 does what it was meant to. But I wouldn't say "they work just fine."
Nope. I'll say it. The buttons on the DR 1000s work as intended and that is just fine, thanks.
