Funny that you complain about page turning... for hundreds of years, it has required an extended physical movement to turn the page.

Amazing the times we live in, that page turning has become an effort that becomes annoying. Combined with our tendency to be less physical active, we are heading to a (physically) stationary future...

Well, we've removed the 'annoyance' with the original Kindle, why make an effort to put it back in? What does touch add over the use of buttons (other than, "Look! We're using a new technology, therefore it's better and you should buy one!")?

Or it always was, and people just didn't have a choice.
