An e-reader with a touchbar
I bought a Kindle Scribe a few years ago to read PDFs on it. Most of the PDFs are magazines and RPG rulebooks.

Any kind of reference book involves a lot of flipping around, so I had this idea.

Imagine an e-reader that had a touch bar on the side the length of the screen, and you could slide your thumb up and down the touch bar to flip through a book quickly.

Am I crazy?

Yes. You could use the edge of the touch screen for the same purpose without needing to have a touchbar.

I'm so sick of touchscreens. Rather than a touch bar, I'd love a physical slider. Slide to flip through a book. Click to turn the page.

Bring back real physical controls please.
