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
The Oasis solves this - buttons are in the middle. Since you tend to not use the back page button much, it works pretty well.
I was skeptical of the "lopsided" design at first but it grew on me and is what I'd prefer in future devices from here on out.
