I agree w/r/t hardware buttons. My wife has a Kindle Touch, and I find it nigh unusable from a UI standpoint, since there is so little feedback after touching the screen to turn the page, especially with PDFs. (Did I accidentally flip backward? Did the software crash again?)
- jwr 14y agoI was also surprised that the basic model was not upgraded to the new screen. I think the cheapest kindle is actually the best one to get, because of hardware buttons. I won't be upgrading it anytime soon, it seems.
- turtlebits 14y agoThe basic model appears to have a higher contrast screen, at least.
- jwr 14y agoWell, no. From what I can see, all the "PaperWhite" models have a touch screen (which I really do not want) and no hardware buttons (which I really do). So, no upgrade path for me. I'm sticking to my current Kindle.
- levesque 14y agoI use a nook touch, and I stopped using the mechanical buttons after I realized how nice it is to just tap the screen instead. A tap on the left side means back, tap on the right side forward. Not that hard, and feels really nice. I found swapping gestures to be too long, and slightly unstable as well. Does the kindle support page turns by tapping?
