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.
I like the fact that it has 3 options to turn pages. No matter how I hold it, there's always a way to easily turn a page (though I generally use the 9 and 0 buttons).

I could use taps on my JE-100 (LCD, windows ce), but I've turned it off. I prefer buttons.
