I'm not fond of Kindles, but I do like the Voyage (except the price). It has buttons, it has a flush screen and it has touch. |

You have to go out of your way to know there's such a thing as a Tolino e-reader. I have some interest in these devices and this is the first I've heard of it. |

They are not susceptible to dirt and dust. If anything, the ridge of the raised bezel is more of a concern when it comes to that, yet that has not become the de facto design. |

Although keep in mind that there is considerably more competition where it counts -- ebooks not ereaders -- although it could still be better.
I mention this only because it is the current topic argument in another thread! ![]() |

I'd like to see an inertia sensor chip in an ereader.
That way, you just have to shake (flip?) the device to change the page. |

For me the ultimate would be a front facing camera interface. Wink to turn the page. Long wink to page backward. No need to move a finger. Too bad that it would kill the battery.

I don't know....a good sneeze could send you 50 pages into the next chapter! On a more serious note, it would have to be able to be turned off for folks with a bit of palsy.

Shaking it is too much work. I'm still a big fan of the idea of a stream-of-consciousness ereader.

Well, moving your eyes is too much work too!

So, back to the original question. Why have physical, mechanical page-turn buttons been abandoned?
Not enough people want them to make it worthwhile. The haptic button compromise is as close as it will get. |
