For me, the page button on the Libra quite literally could not be more perfectly positioned. The fact that I've read nearly 80 books since buying it 3 months ago is testament to how pleasant I find the reading experience with it.

I also like my Tolino Epos2 = Kobo Forma because it weighs so little, but since I only read 2 columns in landscape format on a larger screen, they are again in the wrong place and I read when I take it without using them.
I have a lot more fun with the Boox Note Air and the Boox remote control.

Device: Kobo Clara HD (maybe)
Soooo, two days ago I bought a Clara HD from Amazon for 83€, I think it's a good price.
It arrived yesterday and I played a bit with it (installed KOReader and stuff). I'm liking it for now.

I'll guess I'll keep it, I have 2 and a half months to return it eventually.

About the buttons. As I said I used the Clara HD for a few hours, but I can already guess that I won't miss buttons. I found a (personal) confortable holding position using the Clara in landscape position (I was pleasantly surprised by the balance in weight), and in that case the phisical buttons would be far from my hands. I found particularly unconfortable holding the e-reader with one hand.

A fine choice - I have a soft spot for the Clara as it was my first Kobo after leaving Amazon. Like you, I loved the weight and balance. I just got greedy for a bit of extra screen, which may happen to you too, given time. Enjoy reading on your new device!

Well actually the greediness of more screen might me already here, since it brought me to the landscape mode but at the same time I like the fact it isn't that big, so I'm very ok with it (at least for now).

Thank you!

I just thought the wording was interesting. In the first sentence it is "always" and in the next sentence it isn't "always".
