The best thing about the first Kindle I had - second generation, maybe? - was that it had the physical forward and back paddle buttons on both sides in just the right place for it to be comfortable to hit with your thumb.

You're have to either tap on the right side of the screen to advance the pages, or worse, have to try doing a swiping motion that all too often gets misinterpreted as a tap.
