Well, the PW5 has a flush screen unlike the H2O. But the same shape and close to the same size, with the H2O slightly bigger in every dimension. I personally prefer the oblong shape to the blockier shape of devices with buttons. When I moved from Sony (with buttons along the bottom) to Kobo, I missed buttons at first but I got over it.

Buttons are not all created equally. I did not find Oasis at all comfortable, but my PocketBook Era is just fine.

I know everyone here disregards Barnes & Noble, but I love having buttons on both sides. I can change hands without having to turn the reader around. I have a PW4 and I use it occasionally just to make sure I still prefer buttons. I won't buy another reader without buttons.

I liked where Sony put the buttons with the IR touch because they were 100% out of the way at the bottom of the screen. I never used the page turn buttons. I always used the IR touch.

The nook hardware is not bad. But the software is atrocious.

I may be wrong but I suspect that this will only be a minor update to the existing lineup, possibly driven by unavailability of some of the older parts being used. Amazon does not sell enough Kindles to have much influence over the supply chain.
