1 of the 2 main reasons I Buy only K3! Page turning w/o touch & TTS Yes I would buy a PW IF they had these features!

It's really too bad Amazon took tts from the eink kindle. They own Ivona which has the best tts I've heard, bar none.

(Yeah I know they have it on the fire. I don't want the kindle fire)

I don't buy that Amazon won't do it. If there's customers out there holding onto their old button-Kindles and want a paperwhite with buttons then there's a market for Amazon. They could have 2 versions of the paperwhite, one with buttons and one all touch.

There are people holding out for physical page turn buttons not from personal taste but from necessity. Their handicaps make touchscreens nearly or completely useless.

Check out the PageBot to see the type of attachment that these people need in order to use a reader. It can be made to work with K2, K3, and similar but not the touch only devices.
