Sadly, it seems I am the minority. Most people prefer no buttons (but ooh look how beautiful the device is as I take it out of the box the first time). Even worse, most people seem to prefer tedious manual scrolling over page turns (slide the text up with your finger, carefully watching as not to scroll too far, and then try to find your place in the text again).
I think these fads will pass, though, and we will eventually regain our collective sanity.
