You're quite right - unfortunately the Kobo is the only one I can get my hands on in a shop nearby, and I always read with envy post about people trying out models "IRL."
But I've just made a little T1 paper model to test it out and I can confidently say that my feeble right thumb cannot reach all the way

Touch screen is definitely NOT important - actually I'd avoid touch screen devices if I could since the responsiveness and reliability seem to be kind of an issue but the choices are getting limited).
The Cybook Opus is an interesting alternative (although the advertised "2 weeks autonomy" made me giggle a little) but I'm really looking for ease of use and flexibility, i.e. either buttons on both sides or in the middle.
I might be ready to get a Nook ST on ebay (or wait for an international version) but the pics are ambiguous and I'm not sure whether it sports side buttons or decorative ridges...
