I don't want to have to use two hands. If I could swipe with my thumb, that may work. When I tried a 600 in the store, the swipe seemed quirky. But why swipe, when a simple tap would be easier?

Looking at the PocketPro, I'm not sure I would like the rocker (it's the black knob on the right side?). The two buttons on the front left look ideal to me, the placement looks just about perfect. I don't like the buttons on my 505, they are too hard to press.

Just to reiterate my stance , I want something that maximizes my reading, and for me that is reading fiction, so simple page forward page turns is the goal; Touch screen that sacrifices reading clarity is a turn off, a UI that sacrifices simple page turns is a turn off.
