Buttons on Voyage/Oasis
I recently got a Voyage and I like it very much.
But what baffles me is that the page turn buttons do not work as expected (or at least as I would desire) in all contexts where they might apply: - when in scrolling views (X-ray, Notes, web browser, kindle store book listing, etc.) they should scroll down and up - in kindle store book listings/search results, they should page to next and previous page of listings/results This is how buttons work on Kindle Keyboard, and is an obvious and easy enough thing to implement (just map key press to swipe event in those contexts). I would have thought enough people would have griped about this in the two years Voyage has been available to motivate a change. |

They most likely don't use those things so wouldn't notice.

Some of us have griped about that, other places on the web I guess. I now I griped about it somewhere. But they didn't change it when the Oasis came out, so I guess it isn't going to happen. I am just glad at this point I finally have actual buttons again with my Oasis. |

I keep the buttons turned off on my Voyage. The interface seems a lot more intuitive when I swipe.

Yes, the lack of page turn buttons on some of the screens is a puzzling omission.
