Review of iRiver Story e-book reader
The Kindle is not the only e-book reader with a full qwerty keyboard below the screen now. iRiver has come out with the Story e-book reader with built in 2GB memory and SD card slot. Register Hardware has a full review here.

I took a picture and drew a red rectangle over where the Next button is and a blue one where the Previous button is. There are buttons on the left side of the unit also for left handed people. You can view the picture here: http://www.ludd.ltu.se/~skyflyer/pics/iriverStory1.png While the navigation buttons on the sides are much easier to use than the arrow buttons on the keyboard I do wish they where placed higher up on the unit. If the buttons where closer to the middle of the reader and not at the bottom near the keyboard it would have been much easier to use just one hand. It is possible now to use only one hand but it harder to hold the unit at the bottom than it would have near the middle. |

Actually with the latest firmware, you can program keys for foward and backward page turning under menu-setting-short key. I have programmed QW and OP on each side for mine for single handed page turning
