Why is it strange? Its obvious it was done to stay competitive on price. $119 is a great price on a new release like this.You really do not need those two things. You can hold a couple thousand books, side loaded or bn purchases it doesnt matter, the fact is thats enough books to last two lifetimes. I just cant understand why this is such an issue for people. I guess people feel its somehow a benefit. It really isnt. By the time you may need it you will be in the market for a new reader.
As for the buttons....its just not needed any longer. Its one less thing to break,the device is lighter and more affordable. It make perfect business sense imo. Most devices like this are going buttonless get used to it.
