Yeah. What they should do is change the design to have relatively small, easily-tappable buttons near the screen, not large ones near the edge as they actually have (which it is easy to touch by mistake as you pick it up). I think that large buttons near the edge was meant to simulate the idea of "turning a page," but it's stupid design! I feel like someone at amazon had completely the wrong idea as to how to make it "like a paper book"-- focusing on silly cosmetic things like that and ignoring actual functionality (I don't want it to take effort to turn a page; or effort to scroll-- it desperately needs an ipod-like scroll wheel). Maybe after a couple more iterations they'll figure it out...

All that being said, if you're not picky about your buttons, as I think a lot of people are not, it might be okay. I definitely have Special Issues.
