I probably use the buttons as often as I use the touchscreen.

Well I guess B&N decided that buttons are important even on a touch reader! But yikes, at the cost of a really fat bezel. I can understand the reasoning behind having buttons on either side, but I'll keep my LITTLE buttons at the bottom.

I use the buttons all the time with my 350, enough that they're beginning to look worn. However, I also intend to get a Kobo Touch when it comes out, and I'd be fine with using the touch-screen to change pages. Being able to tap to flip pages is convenient enough for me.

I would miss the buttons. I love having the touch screen, but at times find the buttons more convenient. I wish that I could turn off the touch screen for times like when I am at the beach and want to put my reader in a ziplock bag to protect it from sand and water.

I like having the "options" and "zoom" buttons. I would miss those. I do use both touch screen and buttons for page turns, depending on situation. I would like to have the "tap side" page turning rather than the swipe, or, even better, both. I like to have the option of doing things more than one way!

I wonder whether double taps for dictionary lookups work well on readers with a tap to turn page feature. I can imagine being frustrated with the touchscreen confusing double taps with single taps, and vice versa.

I would miss the buttons. I miss having the buttons on the right side that my 505 had for turning pages. I wish I could just tap the screen to change the page (like I do on my kindle app on the droid x). I'm still getting the hang of the swipe, and I generally use the buttons instead, but it would be most convenient to tap the right side of the screen instead.

I'd prefer to have the buttons. Although the touch screen is handy, I still want the option of buttons.

Same as you, especially the bolded part.

I would NOT want them to get rind of the buttons.
