Yep. Same. Buttons are a must have for me, along with the waterproofing. It was (is) the perfect device aside from going through three of them (replaced via warranty) due to the waterproofing not being as advertised. I am happy I saved the advertisements of folks using in in baths.
Both are features that complement each other. If I can’t read in the rain I don’t want it. This means disabling the touch screen and using the physical buttons to page turn, otherwise you are using hacks like putting it inside a plastic baggie. Haptic buttons would be fine as well, and likely solve some of the waterproof issues along with an update to USB-C charging.
Pondering having someone mule me the last of the Oasis International editions available for sale for when my current Oasis finally dies. I really don’t want to go back to the dark ages of touchscreen only.
- int_19h 2y agoIt's not just the physical buttons alone, but the overall design with a fairly large area on one side to easily grip it with one hand (while still having your thumb over the page flip button). I really wish UX designers for handheld devices optimized for, you know, ergonomics of actually holding it, rather than just trying to minimize the physical size.
