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)

Same here. I read your comment from two inches away lol

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.

The original Kindle keyboard had perfect page turn buttons and it’s been downhill ever since, though the Oasis is livable.

There are newer ones with physical buttons.

[stevewodil]

There are but it's discontinued. There is no current generation model with page turn buttons.

damn - didn't realize they discontinued the Oasis, rip
