The device on the left, I'm pretty sure, like the CyBook Opus, can be turned upside down, and the screen and controls with "flip", so it can be used equally well left-handed. That works very well on the Opus.
For the 9.7" device, as someone has already said, I don't really think it matters, since you're going to be holding it with both hands. |

ahhhh to be a college student again....
I'm an ambidexterous reader, depends on what position I'm in, where the cat is, and so on. having buttons on both sides of the reader would be convenient for everyone I would think |

Can be, not always. For computers it is exactly the opposite. Business-to-business computers are simple machines without the frills for video, etc.
But the reader makers seem to have decided that some useful functions like WiFi (I would like to download newspapers to the reader without a computer) and annotation capabilities are "business" apps and no private user would ever want them. In this case it is just a matter of wanting to charge significantly more. |

Nice, but I'll wait for a plastic screen.
