Actually, the old Kindle had physical buttons, which I find more ergonomic when reading in bed

That's what your nose is for. (I'm quite skilled at advancing or going back by gently tapping the kindle against my face. It helps that I'm very nearsighted so it's kind of already there)

Really wish my 1st gen Paperweight had split forward and back buttons on the right side.

But then I also understand that'd increase the price by 10% and only help right handed people with weak hands so... c'est la vie.

    You can... turn them upside down to become a left-handed device. That way you can be weak-handed with either hand!

    • Only way to get buttons that are comfy on both sides would be to flip it screen out. That doesn't seem like a very useful position to hold a reader in though.

      If you turn it upside down the left hand buttons will be way too high on the reader
