I detect a theme in this thread, with so many posters loving the Voyage, and I'll join that chorus. I still own several Voyages (mostly jailbroken, with KOReader installed). To me, the design is nearly perfect: haptic page-turn "buttons"; the right size to shove in a pocket or a bag; a screen that seems far more robust than any other ereader I've encountered and which is easy to wipe clean because there are no bezels to catch bits of dust & crumbs. I mostly use it with a hand-strap with a finger-ring attached diagonally, which allows me to hold it comfortably and securely in either hand.

Using tap, it's not really more motion than pressing a button. Hold with your thumb at the edge of the screen and just rock it over a bit to touch and activate the page turn. It's the exact same motion I do with buttons, just not tactile.

Thanks for trying to help. But, I just can't order it. Same for same item on Amazon.de site. It could also be something with my country.

For me, it's not about how much motion is involved. It's about how often I touch the screen and do something by accident. It wasn't so bad on my PW3 because the bezels were larger than current offerings. But on the PW5, I was always changing pages unintentionally. Also, I had noticeable fingerprints all over it all the time.

When holding with the left hand wouldn't that go to the previous page?

Whereas on Libra and Sage I can hold with either hand, and press thumb on top button for page next, due to having reverse action option and because n matter which way up the Kobo is, the buttons are same action, i.e. they swap with text rotation.

My error. I have a 6" Nook with page press buttons.

I adore the K3. If it had a front light, I'd use it all the time. For reading in bed without disturbing the hubby, I use an Oasis 2, which doesn't balance as comfortably in my hand, but it gets the job done. And it's jailbroken so I don't have to go through the crazy UI changes Amazon keeps imposing on folks.

Well, if you want to go back to the Stone Age, then yes. But not since touchscreens.

Never say never.

And if one wanted to nitpick, there have been other touchscreen 6" Kobos with buttons (although maybe not page turn buttons).

I have a kobo with a button in the bottom middle. A home button I think.
