Minimalist design removes physical buttons in favor of touch screens. Then down the road "premium" versions of the device are sold with physical buttons as a premium feature.

Two examples are the more expensive Kindle having its page turn buttons and the new iPhone having a special button. I'm sure there are other examples. It won't be too long until a headphone jack is a premium feature.

I had completely forgotten about how mad I was about them removing the physical page turning button from the kindle and now i am fucking pissed off again over something that happened years ago and I shouldn't care about but I fucking do.

Just gotta buy the oasis version for an extra $100. $50 a button.

I just bought a kobo instead. Physical buttons and no shitty software updates completely changing the UI every 6 months.

That looks like a great alternative to using a cellphone when pirating books or when you are able to purchase them without DRM.

I REALLY wish they would make DRM illegal for books.
