Having used my K2i for a few days now I've found a design flaw that kind of troubles me. I have small hands, but I suppose there are probably more female ardent readers than male so small hands shouldn't be punished. The problem is that I tend towards holding it in one hand, kind of where you have your hand down the spindle of a pocket book and your thumb separating the left and right page. That can be done, but then - and this is where my decidedly unmanlike hands are a drawback - it becomes impossible to click the Next Page button (my other hand tends to be preoccupied with the coffee mug).

My solution is to reverse the text, thus turning the Kindle upside down. This positions my finger over the Next Page button in a comfortable position, but it wrecks havoc with the Back Page and Home buttons, in just a few days I've grown accustomed to where they are supposed to be.

Anyone else that feels this is a design flaw, or are you happy with it as is? Is there anything you'd like to change in its design (aside from sharper text and so on)?
