I was immediately bummed when they announced the new Kindle without hardware page turn buttons. It was one of the best parts of the Kindle for me. It's a perfectly defensible gripe.
It's what is preventing me from purchasing it. The cheapest kindle has perfect page turn button placement. All I need it to do is turn on and turn pages, and when one of those is worse than what the cheaper model can do, I'm going for the cheaper model.
Ditto. I was going to upgrade for the light, but the lack of buttons are making me hold off. I can leave the lamp on. I love just barely squeezing my hand together to turn the page. It's almost a non-movement.
