- leucineleprec0n 5y ago+1, some elongated thin buttons on the bezels with great tactical feedback would be killer. Nook's had this iirc. And yes touch everywhere is getting old
- vishnugupta 5y ago> elongated thin buttons on the bezels Pre-touch Kindles[1] had exactly this. IMO they had struck a perfect balance between form and function, and it’s the best kindle I owned, before touch ruined it.

- pjerem 5y agoPocketBook readers have « next/prev » buttons. It’s so convenient that I just don’t understand why they aren’t everywhere. Also, PocketBooks are cool for hacking since they are totally open (adding your app is as easy as throwing a binary into some applications folder). IIRC, Kobo latest readers have the buttons too.
