PB 360 is a compact size and the buttons are symettrical. One doesn't feel the odd hand/finger movements even if the unit is rotated to any orientation.
But all these new models are bigger and also have the joy stick type button on bottom right side. It is not a convienient design for all users to rotate in any orientation and use.
I personally like the 302 design with left and right side buttons, centre button. I would rather say it is one of the plus for pocketbook considering also their firmware to easily configure these buttons to whatever action we want to use.
As other users mentioned in other threads, it is also not, we always use one hand. It is much convienient to have buttons on both sides.

Considering the present broad bezel design, it would have been easier to include the left side buttons. It is not clear what was the reason for PB to remove the left buttons. Did they listen to users / some PB design engineer's innovation / their manufacturer Foxconn's option which they had to accept.
